@Mtaddict I will actually check it out..it looks cool In the link u showed already
@Koningin Van Italië it seems that Rome took a heck alot of Greek vibes lol
Yeah but Romans took a lot from etruschians aswell
They were cool though...I saw some drawing of one if their soldiers it looks really cool @Koningin Van Italië
The first gladiators were etruschians and the whole gladiator tradition until the 1/2 century was really similar to the etruschian
1/2 century bc
Fun fact: not all gladiators were slaves
In fact, a little part was made of volunteers
Both males and females
Mostly males of the lowest social classes
Did they use gladiators in the army ?
No
Why not
And that was a shame because they actually had a really similar Training
@Magneto ✌ you see, the gladiators were seen as the lowest possible class in all rome
On pair with prostitutes
Ahhh I see now ..wow
So they were loved inside the arena, but hated outside
Would have been useful in the battlefield
In fact, most of time (like 80% of the time) the population wanted the gladiators to live because they were loved
Before the various reforms to prevent private armies
Ahh like the modern WWE guys just real lol
Another fun fsct: they got laid
A lot
The sex appeal of the gladiators had NO MATCH
That's cool then being bodyguards lol
Them*
@Koningin Van Italië that sounds reasonable lol
@Magneto ✌ a wife of a senator (the second highest charge of the state) fleed with a gladiator in a romantic escape
They even got their own fan girls writing stuff on the walls
And they answered saying how big was their Gladius and such
This caused a lot of jealousy from various romans
I have the book I'm reading in the other room
It sounds more jolly than how the movies portrays it lol
Always these miserable guys not wanting to fight but forced to lol
Let me get it so I can make you see the photo
Okies
@Magneto ✌ they were miserable, not wanting to fight and forced
But it had also some upsides
Ahhh I get it
