gladiator fight
In Roman times it was really men fight the tigers and other wild animals in the Colosseum, as in the movie Gladiator?
I just saw the film Gladiator in my new TV. In Roman times, men really fought wild animals? Instead of being a helpless man only feed the lions. And if so, what were the circumstances in which this happened? And what kind of animals gladiators fighting lions, bears, wolves, etc.
Yes, indeed. There was a mixture. had gladiators fighting lions, tigers and other animals, and also the prisoners were put into the circle, without weapons, to be consumed by the "beast" – the reason for putting prisoners in animals has been for two main reasons: it scares people to see if they are less likely to commit crimes, and also, more importantly, it was fun. Everything happens at the Coliseum entertainment events Romans enjoyed watching people be killed. Under what circumstances this place? – Well, it depends on who organizes the games. I believe that 99.99% of the time, playing in the Coliseum were filled by politicians (the aristocrats), if people liked the game, they liked the political for the job, and if they liked politician, voted for him – the idea was to be a politician loved was a kind of advertising. by what was really the man with the games (politcian / aristocrat) about what would happen – I had to decide how many gladiators have fought for going to fight, How many animals do, in which animals are beaten, and made available to the public to see, etc etc … Of course, all this money amounted large bad animals are rare because they are very expensive. So, in summary, was the Aristocrate decide how many animals he wanted in the game, and was the richest man, is likely that more animals had any vicious animal gladiators fought the Roman Empire, everything from tigers, elephants. I think probably there was some fighting question, but I'm sure the wolves. I think wolves Ould difficult to capture and bring to Rome.
