Gladiators participated in the gladiatorial games. Okay, I've had my fun. The Romans had various types of gladiators mainly named by their equipment. As diversion and entertainment they had women and dwarfs as gladiators. Nero even had the wives of the wealthy senators put on a gladiatorial show. (the women gladly participated, laughing and hamming it up all the time they were in "combat") However the serious gladiators were many times slaves or prisoners of war, although freeborn men would sometimes sell themselves to a gladiatorial school for various reasons. The slave gladiators were owned by their schools and could win or buy their freedom just a any other slave. The prisoners of war were used mostly in combat on the frontiers of the empire and many times the winner of a contest was granted his freedom.

The Gladiatorial games and Gladiator history ended during the reign of the Emperor Honorius.
The Romans called the gladiatorial games munera .
The gladiators performed because the Romans adored the gladiatorial games. Most gladiators were slaves who lived and trained at the gladiatorial schools. They had to perform.
