In ancient Rome, there were many distractions that the Roman government created so that Romans could not protest about the everyday problems in Rome. The number one distraction was the gladiator fights. The life of a gladiator was very difficult. They were either criminals that were imprisoned or slaves that were captured in wars. They had no choice to fight because if they did not fight, then they would be killed. Gladiator fights were tough. It was the last chance of a second chance in life. If you wanted to become a free man then you have to win every gladiator fight for three years. That was extremely tough because there was a gladiator fight every three days because of Roman holidays (another distraction). If you won your first gladiator fight then you weren't guaranteed to win the next one because you would probably be wounded from the previous battle
