Where does the word panem come from?

The word "panem" is Latin for "bread." It is famously used in the phrase "panem et circenses," meaning "bread and circuses," which refers to the provision of basic needs and entertainment to appease the populace. The term gained broader cultural significance through its use in Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games," where "Panem" is the name of the dystopian nation in the story.


How does a gladiator prepare for a fight?

Gladiators, who were often slaves or prisoners of war and sometimes even volunteer Romans, were highly trained athletes with skills in weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. They received their very specialized training at schools known as ludi. In the early days of the games, these schools were privately owned, but their ownership was eventually transferred to the state, in order to avoid the threat of a private army forming within the boundaries of the Roman Empire. The ludi provided gladiators with intense athletic training, as well as training with weaponry.The gladiators lived in barracks built especially for them, which were usually located near their home amphitheater. Because they were such expensive investments, gladiators were well fed and received the very best medical care of the day. Also, a gladiator usually did not fight on more than two or three matches each year. The gladiators from their certain ludi traveled together as a group, known as a familia, along with their lanista(trainer), from town to town throughout the Empire for gladiatorial games.
