Assassin's Creed Origins Gladiator Arena

A gladiator fight concept art

Gladiators were armed combatants, typically slaves, who entertained audiences throughout the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals.

History[]

Though not strictly gladiators in the traditional sense, in the 5th century BCE Greece, there was an Arena in Pephka, Greece which boasted to have no slaves, no criminals, but only warriors among its fighters.[1]
