We don't know when the first gladiator fight took place, but it is thought that it was held in the Italian area of Campania by the locals, to commemorate a war victory. The first gladiatorial fight in Rome, however, is better documented. It was held in 246 BC as a funeral rite or "munus" for Junius Brutus which was given by his sons, Marcus and Decius. Three pairs of slaved fought in the forum Boarium.
