Rome Gladiator

http://www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/Homework/romans/gladiators.html
I found this website about Roman gladiator.
Although there are a lot of pictures,the informations
are still much.The word "Gladiator" comes from the
Latin word "Gladius".It means sword,so gladiator
literally means a swordsman.The best way to let a
man fight is use a man who has nothing to lose.That's
why gladiators are almost slaves,crinimals,and the
prisoners of war.However,some ordinary Romans
volunteered to be a gladiator.The gladiators also went
to a special school for them named "Ludi".

Picture1:Amphitheater of El Djem, in Tunisia(North Africa) (the second biggest in the Roman Empire, after the Colosseum in Rome).

Good work. I think the gladiators are terribly interesting and raise a lot of important questions. These are good sites you found. Keep up the good work!
