According to the Church historian Theodoret, Saint Telemachus was a monk who] tried to stop a gladiatorial fight in a Roman amphitheatre, and was stoned to death by the crowd. The Christian Emperor Honorius was impressed by the monk's martyrdom and it spurred him to issue a ban on the gladiatorial games in the western part of the Roman Empire.
However, neither Saint Telemachus nor Honorius stopped the games. The games continued. Honorius issued another ban in 404. Valentinian III repeated the ban in 438. This time it seemed to be effective, mainly because the popularity of these games waned. Animal hunts, which had been part of the gladiatorial games, continued.

The Christian emperor, Honorius, banned gladiator fights in Rome; the last one took place on January 1, 404 CE. He banned them because a monk, Telemachus, tried to stop a gladiator fight in Rome and was stoned to death by the crowd. Honorius was moved by the monk's martyrdom and banned the competitions. However, gladiatorial competitions had significantly decreased in popularity after Constantine I barred forcing professed Christians as gladiators in 325 CE and after Theodosius (Honorius' father) declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire in 393 CE.
Spectators became part of the show in Rome by getting excited and supporting one gladiator and by deciding whether a defeated gladiator should be spared or not. Usually it was spared.
