Description
|
|
|
|
Drawn from the unfortunate and outcast members of Roman society—former slaves, prisoners of war, convicted criminals—gladiators entertained their fellow citizens even as they fought to the death. Yet, out of the thousands of fighters who suffered a cruel and ruthless death on the blood-soaked grounds of Rome's coliseums, a few managed to gain fame and wealth as sport superstars of the ancient world. This program employs dramatic re-enactments and interviews with historians to examine the brutal world of gladiatorial combat and provides detailed accounts of some of its most legendary champions.
