I would watch lions eating Christians and muslims tbqh

The most patrician of sports

Lol you couldn't get more plebier.
Literally mandrama tier.

If there's deaths and chariot events, yes.

>The battle between Priscus and Verus in the First Century AD was the first gladiator fight in the famous Flavian Amphitheatre. After a spirited battle which dragged on for hours, the two gladiators conceded to each other at the same time, putting down their swords out of respect for one another. The crowd roared in approval, and the Emperor Titus awarded both combatants with the rudis, a small wooden sword given to gladiators upon their retirement. Both left the theater side by side as free men.

NICE 0-0 YOU GOT THERE

Only if there are no shoddy judges decisions. Two men enter, one man leaves.

This

Is

Bartertown

no, I don't like watching people die

>Forgetting about the awesome gladiator naval battles

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naumachia

I'd watch the female league.

I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me.

RIP this semen slurping sport. Memes aside it sounds like a pretty based match, and a fair play by Titus.

I'm not forgetting them, It's just that they'd be too rare to be a factor.

because you're actually inteerested in the sport of because they battle with their chests out?

tit armour

Yeah, as long as the contestants were there by choice.

Sure, most gladiators only agreed to inflict wounds that drew a lot of blood but were largely superficial so that they made a grand old spectacle out of what is essentially wrestling. Only slaves being made to fight for their freedom would actually get properly injured, professional free gladiators wouldn't be risked like that when they can draw in huge crowds

do you think that would ever happen? people want to ban bullfighting because its "cruel"

horse races were plebier

Except that in gladiator fights people are killed, whereas in mandrama they literally PRETEND to inflict pain

You couldn't be more wrong you Arab cunt

>he doesn't know chariots were the main event

I could only imagine the "retiarius vs. secutor" shitposting that would occur on Sup Forums

See

>Except that in gladiator fights people are killed
Not necessarily, deaths were rare. Since gladiators costed money to train/feed etc. They were an asset.

This is a nice pic, user. Is there a backstory?

They're popular slaves who have a chance of making it big if they survive. A more accurate comparison would be college athletes.

college athletes aren't slaves. They develop their physical skills and receive education.

Not all gladiators were slaves tho.

1. Man v Man. Most patrician of events
2. Man v Beast >yfw da burrs eat the gladiators

- Power Gap-

3. Army v Army
4. Odd man fights. 3v2, 1v2, 4v3, etc
5. Multiple men v animal
6. Naval battles (overrated because turning radius of boats)
7. Small group of men vs Overwhelming force
8. Animal v Animal
9. Female fights
10. Chariot Races

9001. Executions
9002. Religious ceremonies
9999. Archery contest
9999^9999. Theater

>receive education

70% of NBA players are borke a few years after their retirement, because they're too fucking retarded to correctly manage their money (like buying hundreds of luxury watches, thousands of shoes, throwing parties for days with high level prostitues, etc...).
They don't give a single fuck about education.

literally mandrama

Wouldn't fly in the west. You'd need to hold it in India or China where nobody is going to miss a couple thousand people.

Superior Roman Sport

It could happen. The US happily watched war footage of smart bombs blowing hundreds of people up, broadcast nationally.
It's only a matter of time. You know they are itching for it and if they could the would.
It's probably happening underground "somewhere".

the score is 0 - 1/2?

yes if you miss the shot, the other team gets half a point

fuck ya....death row inmates would be perfect

If we go for bloodsport I'd prefer something more more advanced. Something by the likes of unreal tournament.

I'd watch that shit religiously

IACULATOR EST GOAT

I don't think this semen slurping sport is for me...

Gladiator fights were literally just live action WWE, only slaves killed each other

>Lions are actually good

>tfw you spend years loading up on psychedelics from the Orient traders, process them, and during the morning of the gladiator fight, dump all of it into the aqueduct

top kek, flăcăi

...

>bunch of roided up JJ Watts swinging battleaxes at each other

would pay the $99.95 for the PPV

>mfw a Roman fucking shit was not using pants near me.

Gladiators were all gay lovers

Some one post it already. You know the one.

>Odd man fights
>Naval Battles
>Animal v Animal
>Chariot Races
All trash. Kill yourself or sign up to become a gladiator, please.

just watch that, then, and enjoy how boring it is:

ayyyy

why did you post these gay ass webms

battle of the nations is more fitting

Amazing. I really like this one for toilet stall graf:
>To the one defecating here. Beware of the curse. If you look down on this curse, may you have an angry Jupiter for an enemy.

I'd watch post-edit. Following weapon speed is pretty hard.

>tfw Keksimus is about to win his fifth Gladium Aureum thanks to Betica's senator's votes

...

>" One spectacle is said to have included "a hundred tiny blonde girls being raped simultaneously by a horde of baboons"

>yfw the romans predicted cologne.

Absolutely. Prisoners serving life sentences should be forced to fight to the death.

We have modern day gladiators my man.

Kek, literal shitposting.

Pompeii were the Sup Forums of Roman Empire, no wonder the gods nuked them.


ROMA

No weapons, no death, not good enough.

I'm imagining the colleseum completely full, but mostly silent save for rape sounds and thousands of men fapping publicly.

>matsex and bitchfights

No

>muh modern gladiators

>The plebs actually think this sport isn't rigged

>II.7 (gladiator barracks); 8767: Floronius, privileged soldier of the 7th legion, was here. The women did not know of his presence. Only six women came to know, too few for such a stallion.
