Title A name given to the resource Detail of Gladiator Mosaic Floor Subject The topic of the resource 3rd century CE mosaic floor from a villa depicting scenes from an amphitheater. Römerhalle, Bad Kreuznach, Germany Description An account of the resource Gladiators were often prisoners of war, criminals, salves, volunteers, and sometimes even women. Early battles were fought until the death, but later as the games grew into an enterprise, this practice ceased. Predominantly, the figures had a low status but were admired by the public for their skills and military virtues. As this mosaic shows, gladiatorial fame and admiration extended into the private realm in the form of art that depicted their battles.

Title A name given to the resource Detail of Gladiator Mosaic Floor 2 Subject The topic of the resource 3rd century CE mosaic floor from a villa depicting scenes from an amphitheater. Römerhalle, Bad Kreuznach, Germany Description An account of the resource Some gladiators, known as venatores, solely hunted animals for sport in the arena. On very special occasions, presenters would decorate the arena with plant life to make the scene of the hunt more realistic and thrilling for the crowd. Beasts were kept below the arena in subterranean passages and chambers. When a fight occurred, an animal was raised to the arena floor from trap doors with ramps and winches. These passageways can still be seen today in Rome's Colosseum.
