Who dominated Rome lion or tiger?
TIGER
From all sources going all the way back to Roman times the larger tiger almost always dominated. The lion holds emotional significance because of its lifestyle in Africa, the single male being the head of a pride, large mane, etc. etc.
But in terms of physicality, the much larger tiger would tend to win a fight against a lion most times and the same was true in Rome.
I think Ancient rome lion vs tiger is a lie. Ancient romans used animals to fight with gladiators and possibly with eachother. However there are no proofs that lion vs tiger fights even took place.
Ancient rome was a huge empire that controlled southern europe and northern africa to around 4th century AD. It is true that gladiators were forced to fight wild animals and lion being the top predator of north africa is LIKELY to be pitted against such. Even if lions were used in such contests, its not likely for them to fight other animals. In fact, even if animal vs animal took place its most likely to be lion vs lion. The eastmost point of the Emire was Close to modern-day Baghdad, Iraq. The eastmost tiger territories were somewhere around Turkmenistan and northern Iran. I strongly doubt Romans knew about tigers existence. However, pretending that Romans saw tigers in the wild- caught some and brought them all the way back there were still insignificant chances they were pitted with lions. Rich and highly positioned in society romans often held lions as pets, and lion and god statues defended temples and coloseums. If Tigers were 'winning lions' (if such fights even took place) then Italy and North African colloseums would have tiger figures on its walls. Lion vs tiger debate is on since 1900s and if one side prooved that their cat won in Ancient Rome, it would be the hanging point because romans were known to fight animals
