NO!!! They were men who just provided a violent form of entertainment, in an arean (Colliseum).

The violent forms took the nature of man against man, or man against an animal(lions) using nets, tricorns, spears, swords, to the point of injury and death.

The various types of rulers the Roman Empire had were, Consols, Emperors, and Caesars. In the hierarchy nelow these were Senators.

No, they did not rule. Rather, gladiators were used as entertainers for the pleasure of those who ruled. They would participate in to-the-death combat with one another and sometimes against defenseless peasants for the entertainment of those in attendance at stadiums such as the Colosseum.
