The Roman Gladiator tournament was

a very dangerous sport back in the days

of the Ancient Romans.

They had very challenging

battles against fierce animals and sometimes

they had to face each other.

It was so challenging more

than half a million Roman soldiers and

more than a million animals died over the

course of 450 years.

The tournament was always held in the

Colosseum in Rome Italy because the

Colosseum could hold over 50,00

people in it that’s why it was always held there.

The Roman Gladiator tournament didn’t

just do soldier vs soldier they even let the fierce

animals join the fun.

People loved it when they fought but

the competitors did not,

so did the Animals it was just straight up

TORTURE.

The animals had like a

cage underground in the stadium

and when they had to fight their was

kind of an elevator thingy that allowed

the animals to walk out and fight their competitor.

As the Gladiator grew it ended the

6th century A.D right now it is a

place for tourists to visit in Italy.

It's become so famous it made

Italy one of the best tourist attractions

in the world. Many people love going to

the Colosseum because it’s full of history and battle.

qIt's actually one of my favourite landmarks in Italy.
