Br 1-15 Gladiators

Emperor gladiators(P.42)




I was read this book first time. Admired by men and aborted by women, gladiators were trained fighters who entertained huge crowds in Ancient Rome. The most famous gladiators had large followings of loyal fans, just like football stars today. Dressed to impress in shining metals, with ripping muscles on show, gladiators fought in arenas all over the Roman Empire. They entered to wild cheers from the crowd. Most gladiators were slaves, criminals or prisoners of war, sold to gladiator owners and forced to fight. To keep spectators glued to their seats, they had to fight bravely, risking life and limed every time they fought. But not all fights were to the death. Gladiators were expensive to train and keep, so dead ones were of money.


I was read this book first time. Gladiators is very cool and strong. I want to read many books after this.
