Gladiators

Gladiators in ancient Rome were elite warrior-slaves who fought in arenas for the entertainment of the public. The cult of strength and military prowess in Rome gave rise to this 'sport'.

During the revolt of Spartacus, the gladiators took over a warehouse of Roman arms and armor and armed themselves with 'normal' weapons. However, there are small-figure wargames that describe the fights of individual fighters. This set of figures contains different types of gladiators, and will be useful for those players who decide to try playing such games.

Gladiator figurines can be used to mark units of rebellious warriors and slaves in multi-figure wargames. The figure in gladiatorial armor will be the leader and marker that distinguishes the rebel unit, assembled from the 'correct' warriors.
