Becuase the life of the gladiator was similar to the life of a Spartan grim, tough,and they were often fought other slaves for their freedom. Many fights consisted of an animal and a slave or a heavily armed slave agaisnt a bare armed slave.
The word gladiator is like a fighter so the guy is a tough fighter. That movie is awesome!!
because it protects the gladiator so they dont get hurt
Gladiator fights were the action movies of today. They portrayed historical battles, executions, and just simple fights for fame, money, and glory. Entertainment keeps citizens peaceful, so officials would throw gladiator events in order to keep the crowd entertained and peaceful. Also it was a great gambling method.
Most people didn't choose to be a gladiator, most were slaves or prisoners of war from all over the empire. And if you were not fit, they made you fit with rigorous training.
In theory yes. But you would not get an aristocrat being a gladiator they woud host the events. Normally they were slaves and if they did well they may be freed. Contrary to popular belief not all Gladiator fights were to the death. One must consider that gladiators cost money and time to train so sometimes they may fight to the death other times not.

I suspect that you are referring to a Thracian Gladiator?! A Thracian (named so because of the resembleness of fighters from Thrace) was a type of gladiator that fought against other gladiators for the entertainment of the villages from Roman Villages, they were not as elaborately armed as a Samnite (a Heavily armed gladiator). They weiled a curved short sword, a sica, and a small round shield, a parma.

That is a very tough question to answer. There are several denominations of Roman bronze coins, so for that, I would need more information on the coin.
beacause Justi Bieber said so
the archaeological site of Pompeii so important to our understanding of life in a Roman town
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.
Most of the breeders stay away from the so called gladiator bloodline.
