The Surprisingly Meat-Free Diet of Roman Gladiators

Gladiator

Today 404AD Last gladiator competition in Rome. As the gladiators became more and more expensive to train and maintain, the lanistas refused to allow their money-makers to be put to death during the fights and started requiring the fights to be used with blunted weapons. The last gladiator games were held with feather pillows to the disgust of the attending patrons and quietly died away.
