Gladiatorial fights were originally held in the Italian area of Campania as a religious celebration of their victory over the Samnites. This, according to Livy, was in 310 BC. It wasn't until 246 BC that they appeared in Rome, as a religious duty to the dead.

Briefly describe the Roman Gladiator contests and chariot races?
Gladiator fights were held in a amphitheater or a coliseum. Gladiators had to kill beasts like lions. Sometime there were duels between gladiators. When one of them is in agony, people can decide whether or not he will die. If they want that the gladiator that beated the other gladiator spares him, they make "thumbs up". If they want that the gladiator that beated the other gladiator kills him, they make "thumbs down". The emperor stands up and makes the final decision.Chariot races were held in a circus. There was a "spina"in the center of the track.The emperor dropped a cloth, the "mappa", to begin the race. The goal was to destroy everyone's chariot.
