the roman gladiators
What were the Roman period (Gladiator) "games"?
hello. There were regular religious festivals on the calendar and rich include entertainment for the people – the Games of the Saturnalia, the Games of Jupiter and so on. when they started out, he plays and comedies, and display screens acrpbats animals, and lots of music and poetry. Over time these programs are forced to leave the main stage of small fields, replaced by the violent spectacle – the hunting of animals, recreating battles, criminal enforcement in a course can be painful and gladiators. Gladiators fought by origin burial rites and continued to do, but also became a mainstay of popular entertainment in the Games. Bloodthirsty lot! Regards, Steve
