    I know this comment may trigger some people. It seems that some people does not fully understand the topic about Roman Colosseum....First the so called "Roman Colosseum" in the video is Amphitheatrum Flavium or Flavian Amphitheatre/Colosseum in english which is located in Roma. However there were totally 230 amphitheatres/ Colosseum widely scattered around the area of the Roman Empire.Most of them is in western province of the empire,for the eastern part of empire,because of the population and culture were mainly dominated by Greeks and Greeks enjoy drama and chariot races.Therefore,you mainly see chariot Circus and theatre in eastern part of empire,which means that gladiatorial game were only popular in western province.The empire would not throw innocent people to feed animals,the only people were in was really really bad criminals.For the gladiators,they nearly never fought to death as gladiator were seem as idol,superstars like todays MMA and WWE star to the people.The death rate of gladiator is about 5%,the only unlucky who die was mainly due to botches and accidental kills.Of cause,if tthere is some evil and bloodthirsty emperors ,human eating and ancient battle royale will surely happen.During the later year,since Roman empire fully adopted christianity and lack of money of empire,Roman people were disgusted by the brutality of the barbaric games,they rather go to church and watch chariot races.The Colosseum became a public market for people to buy daily necessities. Christianized emperors officially forever banned all type of games and event seen in the past as it violate the core value of bible and christianityand detrimental to social atmosphere.
    (Although there is still record of gladiatoral game in early day of byzantine empire/eastern roman empire as the eastern empire successfully reclaim Italy and destory the ostrogothic kingdom in about 523 AD)

    Actually it was quite rare for gladiotors to die in a match. Fighters (or referees) could stop the match if they wanted, and take the loss. Fights to death were likely to happen and the end of the gladiators career, as they had at that point already brought enough money for their owners. We also know that there are few times when the crodws got very angry as legend status gladiators killed each other, becouse people loved to see them fight.

Shame that many people still enjoy watching it though, I really can't understand how 2 or more people fighting is even a little enjoyable. Luckily the level of violence is changed though, I'm glad that humanity in general has developed and stopped going crazy over fights in excitement to the point where people fight to the death.

    One thing that's really important to remember about gladiators is that it was super rare for them to die. Not for any moral reasons, just because they were extremely expensive to train up and use in the arenas. However, one of their duties were that if it was their time to die, they were to be examples to Romans on how to face and accept death with Roman honor.
    Also side note, gladiators were fat because it's protection for internal organs.

    "Prometheus" (Προμηθέας) name means "he who thinks before doing something" (προ + μήτις (pro + metis) = pre-thinking, meaning forward thinking, anticipatory, farsighted). His brother was named "Επιμηθέας", meaning "he who thinks after doing something". Prometheus embodies the smart people who think forward and, because of that, they progress and with them all of mankind. His punishment means that society, especially the ones in power, do not like change and hence tend to dislike forward thinking disruptors. The eagle is Zeus' symbol, not Zeus himself. Prometheus was freed by Hercules, who broke his chains and ended his martyrdome.

    I had this argument with my friend the other day he said if he was told he’s going to have to fight a lion in a colosseum he would just kill himself, i said i’d fight it (aslong as i have a sword and shield) because atleast i would have a chance of surviving, am i massively underestimating or is he overestimating the lion (btw i know my chances would be slim but i’m hoping maybe a 1/40 chance of winning)

      The problem is, what happens after you kill the lion. They might send another one or two, or maybe some human fighters

      armed with a sword, the chances of beating a lion one on one are higher than you think. The odds drop drastically afterwards since in a colosseum there is a good chance more challenges will be sent out after that lion, if not even executed by another gladiator/s after.
      Stat estimates suggests that the death rate of gladiators in a 'showing' was about 13% rising to about 25% in the 2nd century. If you were a condemned convict your death was practically guaranteed unless your performance was insanely satisfying.

      I used to think I could fight a wild animal and win, then I saw that movie where Leonardo Decaprio fought a bear. Now i wouldnt even fight a hamster.

      If you had a shield and sword (and some training) you could kill the lion easily man. As some other have already pointed out it's what would happen after you won the fight that would end you..

      Lol....a lot of you are underestimating the lion. He's much heavier than you, much faster than you, & he will not stop unless you kill him....no surrender reflex. Not to mention their skin is pretty thick. It is possible to kill it but 1 mistake & you're lunch.
