I’m just gonna say that almost all of the stories you hear off to the death gladiator fights weren’t actually gladiators, but criminals forced to fight as punishment, where they would fight and fight until they died or became so popular with the crowd they were spared. Gladiators would stop fighting when the other was knocked out or too injured to carry on, not when the other was dead. It was more like a boxing fight with weapons.
@@puglordofderp5085 well I mean gladiators killed each other but not all the time but techilly those criminals who fought to the death were gladiators still if they got too popular then there life would be spared gladiators are imo the most fun bit of history to study I love it
I’ve been watching your channel for a year now and I want to say, these last couple weeks have been extra amazing because I love the comedy that you have added on to your videos and still be able to learn from the video at the same time, if you could keep those characteristics in your videos that’d be amazing
What if they made a show following a group of gladiators. Showing them living and fighting in the arenas. They grow up together and then someday might have to fight one another. That’ll be so cool and they can explore the social and equipments of gladiators
For my school History play I was cast as Spartacus and when I was doing research to make my costume accurate and I found out how horrible the fights acutely were
Just so you know the walls were higher then 15 feet. They are wrong about that. 15 feet is 1 1/2 stories tall. Houses are taller then that. And its not just "raising your arm" for surrender or submission its you raised 2 fingers. Index and middle fingers. How did they get so much wrong.
So you should watch the same video on the channel Lindybiege instead, because this "Infographic" is all wrong, and for entertainment only. Actual gladiators were not like this at all.
Historically, actually, Gladiators were like celebrities. They have historical proof that people had favorites and bought merchandise related to their favorite. Gladiators could be rich and famous.
Many were not. The ones that were professionally trained trained for most of their lives, perfecting their skill in a special gladiator school. However, often, gladiator matches consisted of criminals. In some cases, the criminals were stripped of all clothing and armor, outfitted with a helmet with no eye holes, and a sword. This, as you can probably guess, resulted in a lot of deaths. However, those “gladiators” were no the actual professional ones. The professional ones were more or less athletes, and only around 1/5 of the time there was a death with these gladiators, usually by accident, or a gladiator being too wounded and killed after the fight
I really enjoy watching infographics. The story telling, the animations and even the sounds of the animated characters always make my day. I am really glad I found infographics. Thanks for the good works
Weren’t gladiators mostly treated like celebrities or sports starts like today? Or was the stuff in this video how it was in the early years? Because I watched a video a while ago about gladiators saying that the gladiators were expensive to train, feed, cloth and look after so killing wasn’t allowed
Awesome effort, really enjoyable, congratulations. However, there was no such thing as "thumbs up, thumbs down" on gladiator fights. If you want the loser alive, you just wave the tip of your toga and say "missio"; if you want him dead, you just say "iugula" (behead) and move your thumb under your throat from one side to another, as we still do today, and that's all. At the Colosseum, the Vestal Virgins decided who must die or live.
This channel is better then my History class. This channel has pictures and the videos are not long and it's interesting about the topics. But I know that you have to learn about History but man that's to long not interesting. This Channel is interesting, fun, cool, and short videos.♥️👏👍
It's like they acknowledged that killing didn't really happen so much between gladiators but then went on a tangent about all the emperors would just do it whenever and every time. No, the emperor has a budget too, he's not going to just randomly waste what could be the cost of a company's equipment for nothing. Especially over the course of long events like Titus'. How many legions could that waste buy?
It was more like a boxing match. People would cheer them on and gladiators rarely died as it was way too expensive. If it got too brutal, the referee would step between them and stop them.
The modern version is sitting eating and talking, in a large cinema, watching a gory horror movie on an IMAX screen, with richer customers having the better seats.
"Fear of acknowledging Christian eminence influence on time and history" -- Your opinion would carry much more water if the narrator had not acknowledged the eminent influence of Christians in permanently ending gladiatorial events/matches.

Most gladiators were glory seeking athletes who went to gladiator school There were some slaves but not all of them since gladiators were like modern day Hollywood stars in the eye of the masses loved and cherished by them sponsored and some gladiators done the ancient Rome equivalent of ads

Mate was a nice doc. Although gladiators were slaves but treated like gods were like super stars .. there are docs talking about gladiators having days of the ludus... The games were very rarely to the death... Cuz nobody was winning from dead money expenses...

The gladiators in the arena in Pompeii, mostly died chained up, during the eruption of Vesuvius.

Even he has dyed hair during the times of the Roman Empire. *even more genius*
I love this video idea 😁
When I was at the Colosseum last year, all I could think about was what it must have been like to be there back then!!
Wow that must have been fun, I would do anything to go back in time and watch one of these
spartacus taught me all of this 10 years ago
Fun fact: It's not thumbs down, they point their thumbs to their neck signaling they want the gladiator dead
I really enjoy watching infographics. The story telling, the animations and even the sounds of the animated characters always make my day. I am really glad I found infographics. Thanks for the good works
Interesting fact, gladiators were widely oppressed in ancient Rome.
They were both oppressed and adored, to add.
Partially wrong
Did i ask
Mystic Leeds if u say so
They were mostly slaves
Bread and circus, a combination that still works in our days.

Who was the monk Christian martyr? Dude deserves to at least be remembered.
made me do a lesson on history about this video 0/5 starts
Actually the are not killed they were like celebrity’s
Yeah, sometimes they were, but it was not at all as common as pop culture portrays
What's also overlooked was that there often was an actual referee in the arena with the fighters as well.
they sold figurines of famous gladiators even.
I’m the 10th viewer lol, came online and this has been out for 11 seconds
