Why
The Romans used chariots for chariot races, which was the most popular form of entertainment, together with the gladiatorial games. These races took place throughout the history of Roman civilisation and outlasted the gladiatorial games. The Romans did not use chariots for warfare.
In the ancient world, particularly in Rome, gladiatorial games began as an extension of the keen interest on the part of ancient peoples (again, principally Romans) in violent entertainment. Arranging to have gladiators fight publicly was also a way to demonstrate the power of the fight-organizers. Eventually, however, the gladiatorial games became a vital form of pacification: social unrest was avoided by giving citizens gladiatorial games as a distraction from their troubles.
The gladiators lived and trained at the gladiatorial schools. They fought at the amphitheatre, the arena for the gladiatorial games.
