- What did the gladiators actually do inside the Roman Colosseum? What was the life of a Gladiator like? Would you survive the battle inside the Roman Colosseum? Let's look at what happened inside a Roman Colosseum during the rule of the Roman Empire!
The great amphitheater that we know as the Roman Colosseum was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian around 70-72 AD. Like any big stadium, it was for the public’s enjoyment, where folks could watch various games. Except the games were quite different at times from the kind of games we watch these days.
This entertainment enthralled the crowds and these games were sometimes said to be the “bread and circuses” that pacified the masses and directed their energy away from life’s difficulties.
Today we’ll look at just how far the Romans went in entertaining the people, in this episode of the Infographics Show, The worst things that happened in the Roman Colosseum.

It's no wonder that Jesus Christ's message of "love one another" was seen as dangerous and radical if this is what the common people back then enjoyed as entertainment.

DiverseJoe what are the lower degrees? It’s crazy how having a small amount of intelligence creates this sort of behaviour, but more intelligence lessens this behaviour.
@@aliray1165 tik tok.
Sadly not even close to one of the highest degrees of disrespecting life. At the time, if anything the Colosseums were a way of celebrating life... just not the poor saps who were part of the show.
Didn’t A Lot of People, LoL, Ok, Some People Then, ie. Gladiators, Take It As A Huge Honor And/Or Responsibility To Actually Fight and Die In The Games Though?
Wet markets are far worse.
Well, Seneca, the poet who talked about facing death on without fear and accepting it, drank poison and cut his veins while in a hot tub, thus denying Emperor Nero of his execution.
He was very brave too😂
Indeed
In roman times they believed it was a man's last honour to decide to take his own life. At times roman leaders killed themselves just before capture.

Extremely
Quite the contrary in my opinion. Let’s not be a saint, we are still the same humans, and we still are attracted to violence, like in movies. Just that it doesn’t happen in real life, because we are mentally much weaker to watch violence in reality today. They were mentally and physically stronger, they had the will to conquer, which means people were much more healthier than today. Which is why they built a huge empire.

I know this comment may trigger some people. It seems that some people does not fully understand the topic about Roman Colosseum....First the so called "Roman Colosseum" in the video is Amphitheatrum Flavium or Flavian Amphitheatre/Colosseum in english which is located in Roma. However there were totally 230 amphitheatres/ Colosseum widely scattered around the area of the Roman Empire.Most of them is in western province of the empire,for the eastern part of empire,because of the population and culture were mainly dominated by Greeks and Greeks enjoy drama and chariot races.Therefore,you mainly see chariot Circus and theatre in eastern part of empire,which means that gladiatorial game were only popular in western province.The empire would not throw innocent people to feed animals,the only people were in was really really bad criminals.For the gladiators,they nearly never fought to death as gladiator were seem as idol,superstars like todays MMA and WWE star to the people.The death rate of gladiator is about 5%,the only unlucky who die was mainly due to botches and accidental kills.Of cause,if tthere is some evil and bloodthirsty emperors ,human eating and ancient battle royale will surely happen.During the later year,since Roman empire fully adopted christianity and lack of money of empire,Roman people were disgusted by the brutality of the barbaric games,they rather go to church and watch chariot races.The Colosseum became a public market for people to buy daily necessities. Christianized emperors officially forever banned all type of games and event seen in the past as it violate the core value of bible and christianityand detrimental to social atmosphere.
(Although there is still record of gladiatoral game in early day of byzantine empire/eastern roman empire as the eastern empire successfully reclaim Italy and destory the ostrogothic kingdom in about 523 AD)
How you learn something from this:)
The only thing that triggered me a bit was the grammar, but otherwise, it's insighting. Even ancient people had standards.
*_OHH MY-_*
Well said...

The worst thing that happened was the Emperor was killed by a gladiator who was a former general, even if the Emperor wounded the gladiator prior to the fight.
Peter the Panda that’s a movie not a real event, commodus( don’t know how to spell his name) was strangled by his wrestling coach.
Peter the Panda the movie isn’t historical correct. Macimus (protagonist of the gladiator) never existed. Commodus was killed in his bathroom by his fighting teacher after it came to his knoledge that he was in Comoddus death list.

@@evanosburn718 I didn't see it as a joke, and it's not uncommon for people to mistake entertainment for actual history. There is nothing wrong with being mistaken, but I guess I should let him know that he's wrong. In adittion my first language is not English, I misstyped maximus for macimus by mistake (c and x are next to eachother in my keyboard) and noticed as soon as I posted the comment. I also study classical history so I wouldn't call myself ignorant on the subject.

Honestly, August said "bread and circuses" meaning that to have people by your side you have to give them bread ( he was giving it to poor people living in Rome ) and circuses ( you have to make them happy and distract them from other problems )
Augustus said no such thing, this is from a roman writter and poet from first century AD.

@@emilcaspiani8633 what about widowmaker
Actually it was quite rare for gladiotors to die in a match. Fighters (or referees) could stop the match if they wanted, and take the loss. Fights to death were likely to happen and the end of the gladiators career, as they had at that point already brought enough money for their owners. We also know that there are few times when the crodws got very angry as legend status gladiators killed each other, becouse people loved to see them fight.
Make your own video on it then

Hipotimisis.... 5:50
Hippopotamus? You mean? Lol
Nope, he said it correctly. Look at the sentence, he mentioned plural animals. 5:40 "the favorite animals to be killed were… lions, tigers, and bears, elephants, ostriches,…" everything is plural and so is "Hippopotamuses" (which you spelled wrong).
Hippopotamus are said to be one of the most lethally dangerous animals in the world.
@HeyIt'sMeCoreyEXE they are probably American..
Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus? Or just a really cool opotamus?
One thing that's really important to remember about gladiators is that it was super rare for them to die. Not for any moral reasons, just because they were extremely expensive to train up and use in the arenas. However, one of their duties were that if it was their time to die, they were to be examples to Romans on how to face and accept death with Roman honor.
Also side note, gladiators were fat because it's protection for internal organs.
*The more you know*
It's got nothing to do with "gladiators" genius. It's obvious they would slaughter people for practically no reason. Listen to the account where the guy had his most beautiful woman fight to the death....for being beautiful. No, gladiator deaths were rare sure but being a non criminal and dying Ng in the area was obviously more common than anybody actually thought.
They were also seen as celebrities and people loved them so it was rare that they would die. But probably the convicts were sent to their death.
Humans still like it when men / women fight each other
I say only: MMA, UFC, boxing
Time But how often do people die gruesome deaths in those fights. I would rather be beat up by andre the giant than be slashed and stabbed with a sword or spear.
But they don't get raped by giraffes. Also, they are the ones who decide to fight and get paid.
UFC is a brand not a sport
Saying "Humans still like it" would be far too much of a generalization, yes lots of people enjoy it but not all. Personally i find sports such as Boxing pathetic as i feel like they are excuses to be allowed to fight people without consequences, I don't see anything enjoyable about it. Shame that many people still enjoy watching it though, I really can't understand how 2 or more people fighting is even a little enjoyable. Luckily the level of violence is changed though, I'm glad that humanity in general has developed and stopped going crazy over fights in excitement to the point where people fight to the death.
Humans enjoy the spectacle, but at least modern combat sports consist of consensual violence, unlike the forced violence of the Roman Colosseum.
Romans were doing Battle Royales before it was even a popular game mode. They had a lot of different LTMs too.

Wow, a lot of this is... Well, wrong... It was rare actually to see someone die in the arena. It was expensive and was a treat for the crowd and not an everyday thing, as for the figures you pulled I don’t where you got those... We don’t know the number of people who died in the amphitheater because, they honestly didn’t care to keep track of the condemned.
A lot of misinformation about Italian culture here
Also they used Greek gods although there were other names for the Romans
I can easily imagine them executing death sentences on the big stage. Why silently slit a convict's throat, if you can crucify him in the public and put on a good show?
The idea of public execution is not only for entertainment, but also for shock & awe, scare people straight, so to say.

This was uploaded on my birthday!
Most of the deaths which occurred inside the Flavian Amphitheater (the area being called Colosseo actually refers to a giant statue of Nero which existed there previously) were actually criminal executions. Many gladiators actually did not die in battle.
I took many Roman history classes whilst living there, and the first thing they did was dispel some of the common myths.

in reality, roman gladiators very rarely died and when they did, it was either by command of the emperor or of non-battle causes and deaths were in fact banned unless otherwise noted by the emperors. gladiators were treated more like superstars, were well fed, had personal physicians, crowd favorites could have "sponsors", could help advertise local business, sometimes could be set free, and often had better lives than other slaves. they were treated so well in fact that some other slaves begged to become gladiators. the coliseum could also become a naval arena in which the worse that would happen to the gladiators is drowning and they also had chariot and foot races. the more famous survive a lion attack mostly pitted large animals like bears and lions against large imported guard dogs like and ancient and extinct breed of mastiff to prove the dogs strength, not too many occasions where a slave/prisoner was faced with a lion, and when it did happen, it was mostly accidents and the animals were held off. like the fighting, only rarely did the emperor allow the deaths of the gladiators to animals

“These games were said to be the bread and circuses that distracted the masses” Sound like Football to anyone?
Somewhere in my flat I actually have that book "Those About To Die". Read it twice so far and it does mention a gladiator called Carpophorus
"Prometheus" (Προμηθέας) name means "he who thinks before doing something" (προ + μήτις (pro + metis) = pre-thinking, meaning forward thinking, anticipatory, farsighted). His brother was named "Επιμηθέας", meaning "he who thinks after doing something". Prometheus embodies the smart people who think forward and, because of that, they progress and with them all of mankind. His punishment means that society, especially the ones in power, do not like change and hence tend to dislike forward thinking disruptors. The eagle is Zeus' symbol, not Zeus himself. Prometheus was freed by Hercules, who broke his chains and ended his martyrdome.
