Who were THE GLADIATORS?

Gladiators were mostly slaves, convicted criminals or prisoners of war who were forced to fight. However, some free men did volunteer to be gladiators. Life in the Roman Empire could be tough, and although the path of a gladiator was very dangerous, at least men training in the gladiatorial schools were fed three square meals a day. Gladiators who fought well could become rich and famous, so volunteer gladiators dreamed of fame and fortune. Most gladiators fought in games three times a year.

Gladiatorial school

Gladiators trained to fight at gladiatorial schools. Teachers in the schools had often been gladiators themselves. New boys were taught to attack straw men and were only allowed to use wooden-swords. All gladiators - even those who were volunteers- were kept chained together as if they were in prison.

Gladiators ate boiled beans and barley to build up their muscles.

At gladiatorial school anyone who broke the rules was several punished. but the food was good and gladiators were looked after by some of the most skilled doctors in the Roman Empire.


Who is who in the arena?

There were many different types of gladiator. Some were well-armed and others fought nearly naked. The murmillo and the thraex, who often fought one another, were heavyweight gladiators who wore similar helmets and carried swords and shields. You can tell the difference between them because the thraex has a smaller shield and a griffon crest on his helmet.

The retiarius was armed with a net, a dagger and a trident, and was lightweight and fast on his feet. The retiarius often fought the secutor, who was much more heavily armed, but who found it hard to see through the small, round eye-holes in his helmet. The secutor's helmet had no crest. Gladiators fought to a strict set of rules. If the gladiators broke the rules a referee could step in and stop the fight.

Can you work out which gladiator is which? Look at what sort of armour they are wearing and what weapons they are carrying.

ONCE UPON A TIME... ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS

Mira el capítulo relativo a las primeras civilizaciones de la serie "Érase una vez la historia". Presta especial atención a la parte que hace referencia a Mesopotamia y Egipto y toma nota de:

1. La importancia de los ríos para ambas civilizaciones, y como el control de las crecidas de agua permite su próspero desarrollo.
2. La existencia de una organización jerárquica (hay quien gobierna y quién obedece) y unas leyes e impuestos.
3. Los nuevos oficios que aparecen en breves escenas tanto en Mesopotamia como en Egipto.
