We don't know exactly when the gladiators stared fighting, but historians think it was somewhere in the Italian district of Campania. In Rome, itself, the first gladiatorial combat was in 246 B. It was held as a funeral "mundus" or duty by Marcus and Decius Brutus in honor of their deceased father. It was held in the Forum Boarium and three pairs of slaves fought to the death.
