How many contestants were there in Rome's first gladiator fight?
In Rome's first gladiator fight, which took place in 264 BCE, there were three pairs of gladiators, totaling six contestants. Gladiatorial contests were initially held as part of funeral ceremonies to honor deceased individuals, and they evolved into popular entertainment spectacles in Roman society. The number of contestants in each gladiatorial combat varied depending on the event and the resources available to the organizers.
What would it be like to be a roman civilian?
well since rome was highly corrupt you would most likely be poor as crud... unless you were a traveling saleman... i think they were fairly rich... basically u would eat bread everyday that the government would hand out.. then you would go to the colluseum and watch gladiators kill each other.
Who did the Aztec King think Herman Cortes was?
The Aztec king believed that Herman Cortes was a god. Therefore, when Cortes arrived, instead of trying to fight him and his men, they were lavished with gifts, food and allowed into the city. They realized much too late that Cortes was not a god and by the time they tried to fight him off, he already had a significant and crippling advantage.

Who dominated Rome lion or tiger?
TIGERFrom all sources going all the way back to Roman times the larger tiger almost always dominated. The lion holds emotional significance because of its lifestyle in Africa, the single male being the head of a pride, large mane, etc. etc.But in terms of physicality, the much larger tiger would tend to win a fight against a lion most times and the same was true in Rome.I think Ancient rome lion vs tiger is a lie. Ancient romans used animals to fight with gladiators and possibly with eachother. However there are no proofs that lion vs tiger fights even took place.Ancient rome was a huge empire that controlled southern europe and northern africa to around 4th century AD. It is true that gladiators were forced to fight wild animals and lion being the top predator of north africa is LIKELY to be pitted against such. Even if lions were used in such contests, its not likely for them to fight other animals. In fact, even if animal vs animal took place its most likely to be lion vs lion. The eastmost point of the Emire was Close to modern-day Baghdad, Iraq. The eastmost tiger territories were somewhere around Turkmenistan and northern Iran. I strongly doubt Romans knew about tigers existence. However, pretending that Romans saw tigers in the wild- caught some and brought them all the way back there were still insignificant chances they were pitted with lions. Rich and highly positioned in society romans often held lions as pets, and lion and god statues defended temples and coloseums. If Tigers were 'winning lions' (if such fights even took place) then Italy and North African colloseums would have tiger figures on its walls. Lion vs tiger debate is on since 1900s and if one side prooved that their cat won in Ancient Rome, it would be the hanging point because romans were known to fight animals
