• Roman Gladiators were paid after every fight

     Gladiators were paid alot of money after every fight if they survive and would be freed after 3-5 years. Most Roman gladiators became very wealthy and lived a very luxurious live after they were freed. Some nobles and normal citizens wanted to become gladiators because they wanted fame, wealth or both, even though it meant pain and death. Also, some gladiators stayed in the arena even if they were freed because they wanted to become wealthier, more fame, or they liked killing.
