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. He was then given "missio" or a pass. All these were entered on the gladiator's record and many gladiators had these records engraved on their tombstones.
AnswerGladiators were trained fighters that were fighting one another, slaves, animals and condemned criminals for the pleasure of spectators. It is known the preference of the ancient Romans for bread and spectatle. The first reported fight was at 264 BCE in ancient Rome from the era of Republic through the end of the Empire. They fought for fame and glory. This whole thing is not what you are looking for if you are looking where gladiator games started this is not it at all sorry.
The clock came before the watch. Clocks in various forms have been available since the days of Ancient Egypt, whereas the watch did not make an appearance until the 17th century.
The Mayans, Egyptians, Babylonians, and Chinese all had calendars in the ancient days. The calendar we use to today was first developed by the Romans, under Julius Caesar (the Julian Calendar). That was modified by the Gregorian Calendar (named for Pope Gregory XIII), which we still use today
ancient egyptians :D There has always been 365 1/4 days in a year. Thats a physical fact, that no one can alter. How it is divided up into months, is arbitary. Our modern calendar was formulated by pope Gregory and is known as the Gregorian calendar.
Depending on the millennium, it can be 365,242 days or 365,243 days long. The current millennium (3rd millennium CE) is 365,242 days.
They had the fighting arena where the gladiator and animal would fight. They would starve the animal for 3 days so it would be starving, and keep it in the dark and then be thrusted out into the sunny arena. Under the arena they have the areas where the gladiator and animal wait. If the animal survives and kills the gladiator, it would be thrust into another fight where a trained gladiator to kill wild animals would kill it.
The gladiator fights were held in the afternoons and lasted until the set number of fighters performed. There was no set time for them to end.

He did not refuse. Thomas was not happy with this choice of battle, but that is what happens in a war. Can't pick the days you fight. He believed that it was God's will that they fight on Sunday.
they had the 100 days of festival and had gladiator battles and public executions
because they wanted to see some exictedment and they only get 175 days off and seeing a gladiator fight is a good holiday to many. Also the Romes were just sick minded and they were also cannibals.
