The Worst Things That Happened in the Roman Colosseum

What did the gladiators actually do inside the Roman Colosseum? What was the life of a Gladiator like? Would you survive the battle inside the Roman Colosseum? Let's look at what happened inside a Roman Colosseum during the rule of the Roman Empire!
The great amphitheater that we know as the Roman Colosseum was commissioned by Emperor Vespasian around 70-72 AD. Like any big stadium, it was for the public’s enjoyment, where folks could watch various games. Except the games were quite different at times from the kind of games we watch these days.
This entertainment enthralled the crowds and these games were sometimes said to be the “bread and circuses” that pacified the masses and directed their energy away from life’s difficulties.
Today we’ll look at just how far the Romans went in entertaining the people, in this episode of the Infographics Show, The worst things that happened in the Roman Colosseum.

[@cvanvslivs2406]

I know this comment may trigger some people. It seems that some people does not fully understand the topic about Roman Colosseum....First the so called "Roman Colosseum" in the video is Amphitheatrum Flavium or Flavian Amphitheatre/Colosseum in english which is located in Roma. However there were totally 230 amphitheatres/ Colosseum widely scattered around the area of the Roman Empire.Most of them is in western province of the empire,for the eastern part of empire,because of the population and culture were mainly dominated by Greeks and Greeks enjoy drama and chariot races.Therefore,you mainly see chariot Circus and theatre in eastern part of empire,which means that gladiatorial game were only popular in western province.The empire would not throw innocent people to feed animals,the only people were in was really really bad criminals.For the gladiators,they nearly never fought to death as gladiator were seem as idol,superstars like todays MMA and WWE star to the people.The death rate of gladiator is about 5%,the only unlucky who die was mainly due to botches and accidental kills.Of cause,if tthere is some evil and bloodthirsty emperors ,human eating and ancient battle royale will surely happen.During the later year,since Roman empire fully adopted christianity and lack of money of empire,Roman people were disgusted by the brutality of the barbaric games,they rather go to church and watch chariot races.The Colosseum became a public market for people to buy daily necessities. Christianized emperors officially forever banned all type of games and event seen in the past as it violate the core value of bible and christianityand detrimental to social atmosphere. (Although there is still record of gladiatoral game in early day of byzantine empire/eastern roman empire as the eastern empire successfully reclaim Italy and destory the ostrogothic kingdom in about 523 AD) How you learn something from this:)

Saying "Humans still like it" would be far too much of a generalization, yes lots of people enjoy it but not all.

Shame that many people still enjoy watching it though, I really can't understand how 2 or more people fighting is even a little enjoyable. Luckily the level of violence is changed though, I'm glad that humanity in general has developed and stopped going crazy over fights in excitement to the point where people fight to the death.

Actually it was quite rare for gladiotors to die in a match. Fighters (or referees) could stop the match if they wanted, and take the loss. Fights to death were likely to happen and the end of the gladiators career, as they had at that point already brought enough money for their owners. We also know that there are few times when the crodws got very angry as legend status gladiators killed each other, becouse people loved to see them fight.

One thing that's really important to remember about gladiators is that it was super rare for them to die. Not for any moral reasons, just because they were extremely expensive to train up and use in the arenas. However, one of their duties were that if it was their time to die, they were to be examples to Romans on how to face and accept death with Roman honor. Also side note, gladiators were fat because it's protection for internal organs. *The more you know*

[@Ozzy89ike]

It's got nothing to do with "gladiators" genius. It's obvious they would slaughter people for practically no reason. Listen to the account where the guy had his most beautiful woman fight to the death....for being beautiful. No, gladiator deaths were rare sure but being a non criminal and dying Ng in the area was obviously more common than anybody actually thought.

[@NadaAlawadhi]

They were also seen as celebrities and people loved them so it was rare that they would die. But probably the convicts were sent to their death.

[@jacobanderson2536]

You didn't mention the tens of thousands of Christians in the arena, burned torn stabbed cooked smashed tortured and blatantly murdered.

The Roman's called him Jupiter not Zeus

[@cvanvslivs2406]

Only if you are Romans of the eastern part of empire,you call him Zeus....

[@drm4rd3r94]

acually it was the Greeks who called their primary deity Zeus @@cvanvslivs2406

[@5yearsago374]

Well the Romans did gain their polytheism from the Greeks.

[@jianhang3070]

Zeus is Jupiter Hera is Juno Hestia is Vesta Poseidon is Neptune Demeter is Ceres Hades is Pluto Persephone is Proserpine Athena is Minerva Apollo is Apollo Artemis is Diana Herme is Mercury Dionsyus is Hephaestus is Vulcan Aphrodite is Venus Ares is Mars Etc is Etc

I think the most interesting thing i learned about the coliseum is that they could flood the arena to play out naval battles

I had to write a 15 page paper on Roman amphitheaters for a college history class, and it was not east. I will admit I was not expecting your video to be so in depth. The background research for this video was very well done. Bravo!

-The Roman Arena was home to brutal blood and wine, people cheering at the sight of blood being spilled and gladiators being worshipped. -Modern Day sports is just a bunch of people wearing special outfits, sweating and getting an award for it. We really have grown out of the time of blood and win to smiles and awards.

[@Eav_H]

I been bored before but this is a whole other level

[@novaaetas7492]

2:55 I know he didn’t actually pet the lion but imagine. You were thrown to the lion and then just start petting it like an overgrown house cat. That would have been the biggest power move

[@RoninAquila]

And they dared to call non-Romans “barbarians” 😡

[@billygowhoop]

That bit with Commodus and people without feet is even better than described here. Apparently he made them be laid out in the Colosseum in the shape of a human body. Commodus was in the middle and he proceeded to club everyone to death. And then he proclaimed that he killed a "giant".

[@RazHafeez]

5:49 Hypotemuses, you say?

[@wulftheghost]

Raheel Hafeez lmfao

[@ToraFish86]

This stuck out for me as well. This channel has run out of time with me.

[@milly623]

He also mispronounced Commodus' name. He made it sound like a toilet or "commode-us".

Hipotimisis.... 5:50 Hippopotamus? You mean? Lol

[@stevenwilson5556]

Nope, he said it correctly. Look at the sentence, he mentioned plural animals. 5:40 "the favorite animals to be killed were… lions, tigers, and bears, elephants, ostriches,…" everything is plural and so is "Hippopotamuses" (which you spelled wrong).

[@hesavedawretchlikeme6902]

Hippopotamus are said to be one of the most lethally dangerous animals in the world.

[@N8theinfinity]

@HeyIt'sMeCoreyEXE they are probably American..

[@giogianelli8592]

Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus? Or just a really cool opotamus?

[@powerup3820]

Prometheus didn't create the humans, Epimetheus did. Prometheus gave them fire to help them survive because they didn't have any other defences like flight or speed
