@KingsandGenerals Consider adding Portuguese subtitles to your videos! Automatic translation works, but it's bad. I'm Brazilian, I love the videos of this channel and the care that you put into them in every aspect, and I'm sure there are many Brazilians and Portugueses who watch them too, I believe. Please consider this proposal, if the work is not too much trouble, I would greatly appreciate it!
The thumbnail reminds me of pro wrestling where Ric Flair begs for mercy crying "Nooo!" and then while his opponent is standing there bewildered, the Nature Boy delivers an uppercut lowblow. It's interesting how this heel tactic in wrestling has its origins in ancient Rome 😂
Funny coincidence. Ric Flair left WCW for WWF because a very dumb executive wanted to force him to cut his hair and make his gimmick a gladiator named Spartacus.
Historians have long suggested that Roman Gladiators were arguably the first influencers of purchasing behavior. As the sports stars of their time, gladiators would often get paid to advertise products in Ancient Rome. Being famous people due to getting seen by thousands in the Colosseum made gladiators celebrities in the city of Rome, which resulted in them having their likeness and names sketched on walls, as well as statues and figurines of them kept in the houses of adoring fans like posters of their favorite athlete. Is it any wonder then that just like modern day celebrities, they also got paid to promote the products of Roman businesses. There was a scene in the first Gladiator movie with Maximus selling olive oil that was cut because it seemed far too anachronistic, even though this sort of thing happened all the time. In fact, there were even billboards in Ancient Rome showing especially famous gladiators advertising products.
Spartacus was the one and only Gangster of the Gladiator's , i mean most were very good and and had tons of courage, but loved the Spartacus escape with his other Gladiators story, must of felt nice being free, even with the Roman's hunting them down, the fact that Spartacus TWICE Showed all of Rome he can do as they by ordering Roman solider's to fight to the death in mock Gladiator fights and also crucified a high ranking solider in front of both armies, the Crassus roman army and the Gladiator Army, showing who can be a boss also
11:55 „Death was uncommon gladiator matches.” I would rephrase that into „death was uncommon among professional gladiators”, since we know, and the video itself even mentions it, that criminals, prisoners of war and just slaves thrown to fight animals and professional gladiators with no other purpose than to die, since professional gladiators were expensive to mantain. Other than that, A+ video as always
@@breakerdawn8429 I would say the other way around. Pro gladiator with crippling wound would most likely retire if he already made enough gold or be set free because of his reputation. A random nobody who just showed up, criminal, or a slave that was thrown into the arena? They would most likely be put down for extra excitement. Its all about that sweet sweet profit with these fights.
@@michasalamon8315 Damn that's cold and harsh. Hell I could even imagine to hype up some famous Gladiator some fresh meat guy is sent just to make him look better.
I can easely imagine that you could find "gladiator nerds" who knew everything about gladiator fights and never missed an occasion to show their knowledge by throwing obscure jargon about their hobby
"Bet you don't know who won the Great Roma Championship in the year....." "That's easy. It was Crixus Dixus, five time Murmillo champion. His opponent's spear broke in the 10th minute of stoppage time, giving him the win."
Trimontium, a cavalry fort in southern Scotland, has the northernmost confirmed amphiteatre anywhere in the Roman Empire. It had capacity for around 1,500 spectators and was positioned immediately north of the fort atop a steep slope above the River Tweed. To this day - quite literally, as archaeology is ongoing - the area around the amphitheatre regularly yields silver denarii, brooches, gaming pieces made from amphorae fragments, and intaglio gemstones from finger rings!
2:20, In Portuguese we still use this Latin word "Ludi". Jogos lúdicos, are types of games just for fun, entertainment. They may involve betting, money and prizes, but the game was created with the intention of entertaining, such as checkers, chess, cards and board games.
What Livy said is strangely on the mark. Hosting festivals and game may seem to be far from war but at the end of the day it is all about managing subordinate, organizing a mass of men and arranging logistics. If one can't even organize a gladiatorial game properly, what hope do they have in managing a legion?
"My name is Maxinus Decimus Meridius. Commander of the armies of the North. General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband of a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance in this life or the next."
YESSSS I LOVE GLADIATORIAL GAMES AND CHARIOT RACING, LOVE THAT YOU MADE A VIDEO ON THIS, KEEP CONTENT ON GLADIATORS AND ROMAN CHARIOT RACING AND THE HISTORICAL SPORTS UP!!!
Hello, I am working on a St. George investigation. Now I am going with St. George being a 3rd Century CE Roman Anatolian Cataphractarii/Clibanarii from relatively humble background, say the equivalent of a lower middle-class, but was able to save up and work his way up to be a Cataphractarii/Clibanarii. Now I have the lancea mostly ready, just need to waterproof the stave somehow and put it all together. But that leads to the question I have. What would be the waterproofing of choice for a lancea given the parameters that I have set for myself. Now this can include paints but the palette will be somewhat limited given the parameters. Can't be purple and probably not even red.
So when and how did the gladiatorial games disappear? I heard Christianity played a role in it but when did that happen and how did they succeed in doing so?
I've always been fascinated by how the gladiators fight nearly half naked, similar to most modern combat sport athletes. Also, Albanus was a southpaw, eh? Lol.
were there any parthian/persian gladiators or related fighting schools? Given they were a major enemy of Rome, it’s odd there’s no mention of them as gladiators
Some of this sounds a little like modern day wrestling matches and not fights to the death. I wonder how people three or four thousand years from now will interpret the sporting events we all enjoy. Would they see it as we do? Or will the see it as something completely different? I wonder?
I wonder how a draw would actually play out. You'd think, with weapons in hand, that one fighter would eventually gain the upper hand by stabbing the other participant and such.
Video posted or made publicly available on TH-cam roughly 8 to 11 hours ago... Also around 8 to 11 hours ago some new accounts were made and they are all beautiful women who have problems with vague speech... Nahhhh, I'm sure it's all a coincidence
This has been happening for months now. And not only on our channel. Have been banning like crazy, but there is no way to prevent the comments from popping up.
03:59 Only 10 days of gladiatorial games in 354 AD? 🤔 The rise of Christianity and the shift in Roman values must have really shaken things up! It’s fascinating how these games went from symbols of Roman might to near extinction. Imagine the last cheers echoing in the Colosseum… chilling! 🏛 What do you think caused the final nail in the coffin for gladiator games?
Yes, he should make videos about the hell. But I guess THE FREAKIN' ROMAN EMPRIE is a more interesting topic, for most people, than tiny, irrelevant astrakhani tribes. 😂😂😂😂😂 Post Scriptum (a Roman Latin phrase): this channel is full of videos on the Ottomans already, by the way, genius. 🤦🏼♂️

Gladiators were basically professional wrestlers

"Are you not entertained, yet?" - Gladiator.
"We are here to learn, but also to have fun, and you're doing a fine job!" - Kings&Generals audience.
Ok, a Gladiator adopting "Joker" as a codename was new.
Reminds me that Joachim Phoenix was Commodus, several years before being the Joker.
*The gladiator's true name was Joaquim Penix*
Nikolius Jokicus, the Joker

These videos continue to be excellent.

Any chance they are more similar to horses? Say a pro gladiator is injured and can't fight would he be put down by a match to the death?

A video on the hippodrome of Constantinople would be great as well

Gladiator 2 of Ridley Scott is the most realistic movie I ever seen.
Remember when Jakus Paulinus challenged Michaelas Tysonian? Worst Gladitorial games ever.
Even Ancient Romans had better idea to matchup two fighters of similar physical capabilities as mentioned in the video

Noice. We always hear a lot about the bread part (grain dole and all the drama around it) so its cool that 'games' are also explained!
Man what I would give to see a gladiator actually depicted historically accurate with the proper rules and the referee and all that.
"My name is Maxinus Decimus Meridius.
Commander of the armies of the North.
General of the Felix Legions.
Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
Father to a murdered son.
Husband of a murdered wife.
And I will have my vengeance in this life or the next."
Thanks for the video
Are you not entertained?
Are you telling me even the Roman's had to deal with a Mario "If he dies, he dies" Yamasaki?

Do you mean the same units of Barbarian invasion 😅
@ I don’t know how that’s relevant?
A Fantastic Video.
Concept videos are a great concept in itself. Old mining warfare next please.
Very good and interesting video coinciding nicely with the release of Gladiator 2.
So when and how did the gladiatorial games disappear? I heard Christianity played a role in it but when did that happen and how did they succeed in doing so?
Very interesting topic I wasn't expecting to dive into today, but here we are.
So it was actually WWF but with swords.. Got it, thanks!
Great video. But I wonder how many fights Feyd-Rautha....I mean Caligula fought in.
"Are you not entertained?"
Why are the views lower on recent videos. This stuff is amazing work!
Seasonality
@@KingsandGenerals yeah

Very nice video 📹 👍 👌
looking forward to Gladiator II
Yeah thanks now me and the boys can sneak in just fine
Yay new documentary
Why do I suddenly need a gladiator action figure?
13:27 they had sbmm back then damn
It was the MMA of Rome!
Some of this sounds a little like modern day wrestling matches and not fights to the death. I wonder how people three or four thousand years from now will interpret the sporting events we all enjoy. Would they see it as we do? Or will the see it as something completely different? I wonder?
I just hope that civilization is much sturdier now and more sources will survive
@@KingsandGenerals---I hope for much the same my friend.
I'm glad to see referees messed matches up since Roman times!
I wonder how a draw would actually play out. You'd think, with weapons in hand, that one fighter would eventually gain the upper hand by stabbing the other participant and such.
Let the games begin
,,Ludi Romani" - Crazy Romans on my language...well not far from the truth when comparing that civilization then and now.
Just a comment for support :)

If you turn your brain off, gladiator 2 is almost worth watching 😂
So, gladiators were treated better than college (American) football players are today. 🤔
So the UFC will be around for as long as USA is around.
Slowly this narrator is getting a bit closer to average
Ah yes, christians the downfall of rome!
I wana hear more about the black moors who ruled Europe for 700yrs
