The gladiatorial games were the most popular form on entertainment. The spectators valued a good, skilled and fair fight. However, this was about what the Roman valued in these contests, not about more general Roman values. To them it was like a sport.
The basic reason was for entertainment. Some historians like to put symbolism in the hunting event by proposing that they were showing the people the superiority of the Romans over forces of nature. But to the people of the time it was exciting entertainment as the hunts were staged in elaborate forest settings, and in the Colosseum, live trees and shrubs were used.
Gladiatorial fights wee advertised the same as anything else in the ancient world, by writing on walls. The old advertisements would be whitewashed over and the new announcements painted over them. There are numerous pieces of advertising from Pompeii advertising rentals, election preferences and gladiatorial bouts. The gladiatorial ads would say how many pairs of fighters would be performing, the name of a famous gladiator if he were among the contestants and if there would be an animal hunt or an awning for shade.

During gladiator battles in ancient Rome, the public would often chant phrases like "Pollice verso," which translates to "with a turned thumb," indicating their wishes for the fate of the defeated gladiator. Spectators might shout for mercy or demand death, expressing their approval or disapproval of the combatants' performances. The crowd's reaction could heavily influence the decision of the editor, the person overseeing the games, regarding the fate of the vanquished gladiator. Overall, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and bloodlust, reflecting the brutal entertainment of the time.

As the Romans built the Colosseum, you would have to say it was the Roman society that built it.
The Viking society is older. (I think) Some historians say the Vikings were living in Scandinavia at 1000 BC. If true, this would make their society much older than the Roman.

A gladiator only had to fight in a certain number of bouts before being freed. The sources are mixed on the exact number. Some say ten bouts and others say five bouts with most leaning towards five bouts. However a gladiator could also reenlist, so to speak, and stay on longer.

The family was seen as the fundamental unit of Roman society. The conservatives also stressed the importance of tradition and ancient customs and public morals. The Romans also had the concept of citizenship, which also involved Roman citizens having rights, including the right to vote.
