Why did Commodus bound gladiators together?

Answer 1

Commodus was a cruel man. It was not the gladiators he bound together. He did it to Romans who had lost their feet and then clubbed them to death. He also killed with a sword injured soldiers and amputees. He liked to fight in the arena as a gladiator. He always won because the gladiators let him and he spared their lives. However, he killed his sparring partners in practice when he won. He also fought against animals. He decapitated an ostrich and carried its head to the section of the senators and signalled to them that they were going to be the next ones. He killed a giraffe, even though this animal was considered harmless.
