How in the roman empire hated gladiators?
The Romans did not hate the gladiators; they loved skilful and successful gladiators. These gladiators became like folk heroes and on their death memorials with inscriptions of their feats and glory were built. There is a popular misconception regarding the gladiatorial fights. Initially, they fought to the death with slaves, but this was because they were initially brought to Rome as a funeral duty. Over time and the popularity that the gladiators enjoyed, there was very little "fighting to the death". This was because the gladiatorial schools became organized into a professional business and no businessman wanted to lose his investment. Many gladiators were slaves, or free men who willingly gave up their freedom to fight in a gladiatorial school. Some were even prisoners of war who, if they fought well, would gain their freedom. If a gladiator were the winner, he would get prize money and if he won five bouts, his freedom. If a gladiator were a loser, technically, he could be ordered to be killed, but this was rare.
