Gladiator fights involved men who were prisoners of war, slaves, or unwanted and they were armed with weapons and light armor and fought to the death. At many gladiatorial fighting locations, animals like lions and bears were starved and forced to fight themselves and gladiators. The most famous gladiator fighting arena was the Roman Colosseum. These fights were very bloody and brutal, and they served to entertain the Roman people just like sports entertain us today.
