Gladiators were professional fighters in ancient Rome who fought against each other and against wild animals, sometimes to the death, for the entertainment of spectators. These fights took place in arenas in many cities during the Roman republic and the Roman Empire. Gladiators usually fought in pairs; one gladiator against another. However, sponsors or the audience could ask for other combinations, such as several gladiators fighting together or specific gladiators against each other even from the outside of established troupe. Despite the extreme dangers of the profession, some gladiators were volunteers who fought for money. This career was last change for people who had gotten into financial troubles.
