This new study lifts the veil on the high-profile but often misunderstood gladiators of ancient Rome, from their origins to the dawn of the Principate. Originating in funeral rites during the Punic Wars of the 3rd century BC, the Roman gladiator games have come to symbolize the spectacle and savagery of Republican and Imperial Rome. Increasingly elaborate rules and rituals governed the conduct of gladiator combat, with an array of specially armed and armoured gladiator types pitted against one another, either singly or in groups. While many gladiators met a grisly end, some survived to achieve celebrity and make huge fortunes. Despite the wealth of literary and archaeological evidence, many misconceptions about the gladiators and their violent world remain. Featuring eight plates of stunning specially commissioned artwork alongside photographs and drawings of key items of visual evidence, this fully illustrated account recreates the little-known and under-represented gladiators of the centuries leading up to the dawn of the Principate, correcting myths and casting new light on the roles, lives and legacy of these legendary arena fighters.

A concise history of ancient Roman gladiators—how they lived, fought, and died in the Colosseum—by the archeologist, author, and Roman military expert. Heroic despite their lowly status, the gladiators of ancient Rome fought vicious duels in large arenas filled with baying crowds. Few lasted more than a dozen fights, yet they were a valuable asset to their owners. Gladiators reveals the fascinating history of these men, how they fought, and how their weapons and techniques developed—debunking myths along the way. Historian M. C. Bishop examines the different forms of gladiator combat, including simulated naval battles held on large artificial lakes. He also discusses how gladiators were carefully paired against each other to balance their strengths and weaknesses. Although their lives were brutal and short, gladiators were the celebrities of their day, admired for their bravery. This short history reveals what we know about the gladiators and how we know it: ancient remains, contemporary literature, graffiti, modern attempts to reconstruct ancient fighting techniques, and the astonishing discovery at Pompeii where a complete gladiator barracks was found alongside multiple skeletons, telling their story.

... manche konnten wegen der Wunden, die sie empfangen hatten, andere vor Erschöpfung den Kampf nicht mehr fortsetzen, wieder andere waren im Verlauf des Gefechtes von ihren Gegnern entwaffnet worden. Gab ein Gladiator auf, so stoppte der Schiedsrichter den Kampf und fiel dem Sieger in den Arm. Nun kam es zu dem Akt, der die eigentliche Besonderheit der römischen Gladiatorenkämpfe ausmachte: der Entscheidung über Leben und Tod des Unterlegenen. Die Zuschauer waren schon zuvor nicht untätig gewesen. Sie hatten ihre Lieblinge mit Klatschen, Zurufen und Sprechchören angefeuert. Nun aber hatten sie zu beurteilen, ob der Verlierer tapfer und kunstfertig gekämpft und deshalb die Begnadigung verdient hatte oder nicht...
