∙ 6y agoBy the name "gladiatorial games" are fights between men with swords (Gladii). Actually the fights were staged between men with tridents and nets, men with spears, men fighting barehanded, animals. The initial purpose of such fights were as funeral celebrations and displays Aside from the simple pleasure of watching people kill each other the games were:
- Propaganda to support Roman views that they were a martial people
- Spectator sorts like modern wresting.
- Spectacles with "super sat" fighters
- A method for disposing of criminals and prisoners of war
- A moral lesson for children that they should expect no mercy if the went against the state.
