Blood and Sand

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 BC, and thereafter it rapidly became an essential feature of politics and social life in the Roman world.

 

The gladiator games lasted for nearly a thousand years, reaching their peak between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD.
