You mean slaves forced to brutalize one another for the enjoyment of a low IQ population with blood lust?

Nothing has changed. People still, for some reason, enjoy watching other human beings beat the living fuk out of each other. Primitive form of entertainment.

Fun fact the month of July is Julius in Latin and named after Julius Cesar. Every time you reference July you are honoring his name. Kinda alpha to still be relevant thousands of years later.

Look up the story of Arminus. Dealt a crushing victory against the Romans, wiped out a whole army/division/whatever (I dont know the technical term).
The Romans kidnapped his wife and son, then made his son fight to the death in the arena.
Pretty disgusting.

Actually, they fought with gladiators of their own school that they knew and had trained with, and tried to avoid killing each other. Gladiator schools were businesses and slaves were expensive.

There was a study on wound patterns on the bodies of gladiators. They were completely inconsistent with battlefield wound patterns and suggest the fights were, to a great extent, staged.

It depends on your social status. If you were one of elite and lived in a large villa with servants and young ladies on hand to satisfy you, life would have been okay for the times.

If you were one of the many slaves the Roman's kept....NOT so good.

Being a gladiator was only profitable and non-fatal if you were some Spartacus level beast who could actually fight.

Arminius was a turncoat.

Lived, ate, fought, and partied with his legion.

Then turned on the same legionnaires, and walked them into the forest to their deaths.

He would’ve known the fate that would be in store for his family after such a traitorous move.

It's mind boggling what advanced technology they had back then like underfloor heating. There's an excavation site nearby where I live where they have reconstructed buildings from that time including an amphitheater, a public bath, shops, and villas. All fully functional and in operation.

I remember reading some article saying the price of a prostitute was a loaf of bread. Sure no condoms back then but I think they only had syphilis / herpes and nothing else.

A loaf of phucking BREAD.

BRB in 2021 - even a hooker in Poland is probably still charging 300 Loafs of Bread equivalent in currency.

Price of p00say has sure skyocketed... It needs to be a listed commodity on the exchanges...
