I can't even imagine being a Gladiator in Ancient Rome. Just waiting in the entrance room waiting to be released into the arena must be both chilling and terrifying. You didn't know who or what you are going to fight. It could be a muscle bound warrior, a hungry lion or maybe something worse. I would have shit my pants if I were in the same situation. The adreanaline levels must be through the roof in those gladiator games.

In a sense, it's like a template concept for a type of gamified sport. What's curious to me is that today we only graze at a feeling of the craziness and exhilaration experienced, but that if the GrecoRoman empire were to persist to this very day, you and I would probably watch gladiatorial night weekly online, or perhaps participate willingly ourselves Maybe the reason why this type of concept is barely represented in video gaming is because you're then forced to confront the simple truth that a lot of the competitions featured are simple or complex games and that there was an entire culture that actively promoted and turned the games into a commercially viable activity Play long enough to starve for screams, or watch from atop and desire spilling blood for fun Yet even so, I wouldn't mind such a life but that's just me

Actually Gladiators were (depending on your class) very well cared for. Most matches in the gladiator pits between gladiators usually never resulted in deaths. However, Romans loved to use expendable slaves for their entertainment (I.e. being fed to lions).

Exactly. Jousting was a sport more akin to boxing than war. Sure someone will almost certainly get hurt but it's not ideal to have deaths, especially if you want to make events a frequent spectacle. The Melee during some medieval tournaments and the ancient gladiatorial arena likewise were sport. Deaths were avoided where possible with blunted weapons and even scripted fights. In some ways it was ye olde WWE.

Regarding the gladiator thing, Im pretty sure the crowd deciding if the loser dies was something that only really happened in the Coliseum. In the other amphitheaters and arenas around the empire, the gladiator fights were supposed to be non lethal, killing on purpose wasn't allowed. Almost all those deaths (of the 8000 you mentionned) actually happened in the Coliseum

Love this video and narrator. The ball game mentioned first actually served a different purpose. The captain of the winning team would be sacrificed, as it was thought to bring good fortune to the city and was seen as an honor to be the sacrificed. Decapitation seems like a merciful death when compared to how the Mayas treated everyone else.

First of all, what the hell is wrong with the Aztecs, why does everything they do have to end in people getting sacrificed? I mean come on, they can't even play a game without people, first of all, dying while just playing it, and secondly, getting sacrificed at the end for losing, that's insane. I don't understand why people would volunteer to play a game like that, there's an over 50% chance that you're gonna die just for playing, and it's not like it's an easy game to play either. From the way he described the rules and object of the game, it sounds super hard, and with an over 50% chance of dying every time u play, it's not like u get a lot of chances to practice and get good at it since, even if you're lucky enough to survive the actual gameplay, you get killed the very first time u lose, or win. This game is so messed up they're not even sure who gets killed at the end. Normally, u would think that the losers would be the ones to die, but the Aztecs are so crazy that we can't even be sure of that. Leave it to the Aztecs to actually want to get murdered as a prize for winning a game.

Gladiator combat was mostly volunteers anyway. It's only the PoW and Criminals who didn't have much of a choice. And even then PoWs where usually prized by their schools. Yes that's right their were gladiator schools who bought slaves and hired fighters to train and fight in the arena also deaths were rare between official gladiators (as opposed to condemed criminals) because a school would have to pay monetary compensation if they killed a gladiator from a rival school.

@@Wolfen443 problem with that is that many convicts in prison actually didnt really commit much of a crime. I myself spend half a year in jail when I was only 14. What was my crime? Leaving a teacher a prank phone voice message and subsequently violating my probation by coming home late There are many prisoners in jail serving years for "crimes" like driving on a suspended licences or having alcohol in their home. I worked at a law office and we had clients who, if violated their probation even with the dumbest crime like having sex with a prostitute, could get sentenced to 10 years because their original crime's punishment was suspended or because they had violated probation so many times before another problem is that some "criminals" in prison are innocent. There are very few completely innocent ones, but there are a lot who had their crimes exaggerated. Its called throwing the book. Its standard procedure for any prosecutor or cop to throw in as many possible crimes as he can get away with. And the way humans think, is if a person is guilty of one crime, then hes guilty of another. For example, almost every DUI case has about 7 additional charges such as speeding/following too closesly/improper lane change/failure to display licence/etc. If a judge finds someone guilty of a DUI, he will automatically find that same person guilty of every lesser charge regardless if it happened If our prisoners were actually the evil criminals we count them to be, then yes, I agree, something should be done with them rather than waste tax payer money

I was bleeding from my mouth and i was to scared to move. The ambulance came and they brought me to the hospital with my armor still on. After some tests they removed it. I had several surgery‘s. I‘m lucky that i still can walk. I have given up jousting. It‘s just to dangerous.

If you ever make it to the Anfiteatro Flavio, you'll find out that most Gladiators were paid very wealthy and never walked around in public. They had an underground tunnel that lead from the Anfiteatro Flavio to a training area where they would practice or hang out in the barracks. They were also sponsored by local wealthy shops and investors. Rarely were they ever killed and most weapons were training weapons.

I would have added Pankration to the list. It’s MMA but with no weight classes or time limits and 2 rules: no biting or scratching. Anything else goes and you fight till someone gives up or can’t fight. It wasn’t weird for someone to die, or even both competitors sometimes. This was a Spartan sport designed to mimic warfare as closely as possible and to prepare men for “real” combat.

Gladiators didn't normally fight to the death. It is just an idea that is pushed in Hollywood because it is much more interesting. In real life, they were extremely expensive to train and keep in condition so it wasn't ideal to have them fight to the death. Many times it was until someone gave up or was knocked off their feet. There were even emperors that fought as gladiators. The reason that so many died was that because, if they were injured to a point where they couldn't be treated, they were killed backstage. However, with that said, sometimes people would pay extra for fights to the death, often paying the dying gladiator's sponsor the money lost in the death.

Please consider making a video about lost knowledge, like Damascus steel (which Valyrian steel is based on, from GoT). But I can imagine since it's lost there's not a lot to talk about. Anyhow, I will not rest until I've seen all your vids, love em!

Daniel Eatwell I do too, and the gladiator events too. I wish you could design your own races and fights though. That Ubisoft included the “Blues and Greens” as teams is really well done. Just like modern teams with their flags and colors today.

For those who haven't seen them, these "ball courts" of the Aztecs&Maya were/are about the size of a football field in length almost or about 100yds long& maybe 40-50 yards wide.(if memory serves) The rings on the walls (my guess) 12-15ft? high on opposing walls about mid-way in the long walls. The game field was confined by tall block walls with skulls, priests, warriors, eagles, snakes, etc carved into them. One wall which faced the plazas had a large building or temple built which overlooked the game field & the town. Most of the larger cities had them but there are so many remote, yet to be excavated sites that much information remains hidden with hundreds more towns to uncover.

If you watch this again you'll notice that the narrator has an english accent. Which means that he knows the difference between soccer and football.... there isn't one, they are the same game. In europe, where the game was invented, soccer is known as football and the game you are referring too is American football. We call soccer football because 90% of the game is played with the feet. Where as you call American football, a game played primarily using the hands, football because..... erm.... erm... ah! Because of that famous American sence of irony?

And the heavy muscular gladiator enters with a MacDonald's on his shield Both players have addidas sandal on their feet, Red bull helmet Begin....... And the chariot racing begins with Red team officially sponsored by Ferrari White team officially sponsored by Mercedes Benz Blue team sponsored by Mobil 1 Green team officially sponsored by Rolex And of course I know what you guessing.
