What happens if you win or lose a gladiator fight in the ancient days?
There is a popular misconception regarding the gladiatorial fights. Initially, they fought to the death with slaves, but this was because they were initially brought to Rome as a funeral duty. Over time and the popularity that the gladiators enjoyed, there was very little "fighting to the death". This was because the gladiatorial schools became organized into a professional business and no businessman wanted to lose his investment. Many gladiators were slaves, or free men who willingly gave up their freedom to fight in a gladiatorial school. Some were even prisoners of war who, if they fought well, would gain their freedom. If a gladiator were the winner, he would get prize money and if he won five bouts, his freedom. If a gladiator were a loser, technically, he could be ordered to be killed, but this was rare. He was then given "missio" or a pass. All these were entered on the gladiator's record and many gladiators had these records engraved on their tombstones.
Why might someone have wanted to be a gladiator?
good food, women, and prestige if a gladiator became successful. The ultimate goal was freedom in which a gladiator would never have to fight again unless he wanted to. In this regard, Roman gladiators had much in common with modern sports heroes, and a gladiator could retire comfortably if he lived long enough.
