258 Gladiators: 1st-5th Centuries AD. Examines gladiators, who provided a bloody spectacle for the people of ancient Rome and its vast empire.

Several emperors, most notoriously Commodus, even entered the arena themselves. In the quest for novelty, contests included prisoners, criminals, and women. Only after the adoption of Christianity as the state religion in AD 380 did armed combat between gladiators enter a decline, and even then beast hunts persisted into the 6th Century.
