Imagine a cultured, civilized empire (the world's most powerful!), with running water, indoor heating - and a blood sport of human sacrifice as its principle form of public entertainment! This is no fantasy or science fiction, for the gladiatorial games of the ancient Roman Empire resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people and animals over a period of more nearly 700 years! Julius Caesar himself is credited with bringing the "spectacles" (as they were known) to the masses. By the time of his successor, Caesar Augustus, each event featured the death of more than a thousand victims - the sands of the Colosseum in Rome literally ran red with blood. Gladiators were popular - graffiti in Pompei confirms that the best were celebrities, some with fan clubs! There were even female gladiators, called gladiatrices (singular: gladiatrix ), who like their male counterparts, battled each other to the death! Director Ridley Scott and actor Russell Crowe brought the heroic gladiator Maximus to the silver screen in the film Gladiator , winning best picture and best actor Academy Award Oscars in the process.

Provocator A gladiatrix (plural: gladiatrices ) was the female counterpart to the male gladiator , an armed fighter who engaged in violent combat with humans or animals for the entertainment of audiences in the arenas of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire. Though unusual, gladiatrices are attested to in both archeology and literature. It is hardly surprising that in a sport as spectacular and popular as the gladiatorial games, that female gladiators were even more of a rage than the men. This coin depicts a two-woman team of gladiatrices battling from the back of a horse-drawn chariot. One scantily-clad gladiatrix aims her bow and arrow at an opponent while the other guides the chariot past the reviewing stand, where the Imperial eagles perch high above the Emperor or Caesar himself. The deadly sharp spikes on the chariot wheel hubs are in full evidence. Gladiators - Blood Sport of Ancient Rome A gladiator was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals. Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death. The Latin word gladiator literally means "swordsman", from the word gladius , meaning "short sword". Irrespective of their origin, gladiators offered spectators an example of Rome's martial ethics and, in fighting or dying well, they could inspire admiration and popular acclaim. They were celebrated in high and low art, and their value as entertainers was commemorated in precious and commonplace objects throughout the Roman world. The origin of gladiatorial combat is open to debate. There is evidence of it in funeral rites during the Punic Wars of the 3rd century B.C., and thereafter it rapidly became an essential feature of politics and social life in the Roman world. Its popularity led to its use in ever more lavish and costly games. The gladiatorial games reached their peak between the 1st century B.C. and the 2nd century A.D., and they finally declined during the early 5th century after the adoption of Christianity as state church of the Roman Empire in 380, although beast hunts (venationes ) continued into the 6th century A.D. Perhaps the most famous gladiator in history was Spartacus, a Thracian gladiator who was one of the slave leaders in the Third Servile War, a major slave uprising against the Roman Republic. Immortalized on screen by Kirk Douglass, little is known about Spartacus beyond the events of the war, and surviving historical accounts are sometimes contradictory. All sources agree that he was a former gladiator and an accomplished military leader. Obverse A meticulously detailed and finely engraved portrait of two female gladiators . The two-woman team of gladiatrices battles from the back of a horse-drawn chariot.
