When did the roman gladiators compete?

Answer 1

The first Roman gladiatorial fight was in 264BC in the Middle Roman Republic. They were popular throughout the Roman Empire. Flavius Honorius decreed an end to the contests in 399AD, and they stopped being actually practiced some time after then. The actual duration of their presence is relatively unknown. Whether or not the games preceded this event, The Campanians, in 310 BC, celebrated their defeating the Samnites in the first Samnite War (343-341 BC) with the aid of Rome by pitching Samnite slaves against one another using armour they had captured during the war. The games became more popular throughout the Republic, and through the Imperial Era. In 399, Honorius tried to end the games by banning gladiatorial schools, thus lowering the quality of the games, and as he most likely hoped, the interest in the games. When the last games occurred is unknown, although in 440 AD, Bishop Salvius released a Pamphlet which directly attacked the games, although Gladiatorial games were not mentioned. (Gladiatorial games were only part of a larger set of games, including the Venatio, games with animals, and the midday execution of condemned criminals.) From this we can only assume that the games had ceased, as at this point Christians were trying to cease the games on a moral basis.

Answer 2

Gladiator combats were entertainment events. In Rome or other ancient Roman cities, various holidays were often times to provide gladiator fights for the citizens. In other situations, a victorious general's return to Rome was an occasion to have gladiator combats. For a time the Roman emperors sought to please the crowds with "bread & circuses" as the slogan to keep "everyone" happy and a distraction from other problems.
