Answer: Gladiator are slaves who were trained as professional fighters who fought to the death for the entertainment of Romans.

Explanation: A gladiator was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals. Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their lives and their legal and social standing by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death. A Thracian soldier, captured and sold into slavery, known as Spartacus is the most famous of the gladiators.
