In most cases, gladiators faced injury or death at the hands of their fellow gladiators, against whom they fought. In some cases, however, gladiators fought various wild animals, instead of other gladiators. The animals (such as lions) could also injure or kill gladiators. In general, the life of a gladiator was very uncertain.

The life of a gladiator was dangerous because of his job. When a gladiator went to work the payday could be death or more likely, a serious injury. The outcome, no matter how well he fought, was always in the hands of either the crowd or the editor of the games.

The greatest danger a gladiator faced was normally an other gladiator in a fight to the death. In some cases the gladiator would have to fight a wild beast such as a lion.
