Best Answer

a Spoliarium was a room in the amphitheatres in ancient Rome. Defeated and badly wounded gladiators where brought to this room and executed after the fights. In the German translation of the work "Satyricon" by Petronius (27-66 A.D.) there is a short comment about that by Harry S. Schnur. There is also a famous picture by Juan Luna called "The Spoliarium" which is showing such a scene.
