#4 : There Were No Woman Gladiators
Because female gladiators are in most media portrayals , it is thought that women were not a part of the barbaric games . This is untrue , as women ? both free and slaves ? fought as legitimate gladiators . There were many fights featuring female , and some were given larger roles in the events as they proved themselves as gifted fighters .

Some believe that this myth has been used as pro - Christian propaganda , in a way to accentuate the persecution that Christianity faced during its rise to power .

#2 : Gladiators Were Always Slaves
This can also be seen in the movies . While a solid of people were forced into the profession through slavery , there were citizens ? even Emperors themselves ? who elected to fight through their own free will . This is becauseGladiators were the world's first sports . To be a gladiator was to get instant fame and glory . They were beloved , , idolized : there were action figures , there were billboards , and the best of them even got sponsorships . They routinely filled the Colosseum that is estimated to have held as many as 80 , 000 , along with 400 other arenas throughout the Empire . People even in gladiator schools , which were abundant in Rome , to the tune of 100 institutions . There were few others ways a plebeian could get noticed , let alone become a celebrity or sex symbol .

#1 : Gladiators Always Fought to the Death
The best Gladiators were prized that managers and promoters could not afford to lose . Therefore , not every fight was to the death . Referees were instated to stop major fights when a person got , so as to allow the fighter the full milking of his worth . Of course , this safeguard was only installed for certain events , and the toll of the occupation severely weathered the fighters . It is estimated that 1 in 5 matches resulted in a death , and that most gladiators died by 25 . The death count of Gladiators during the Roman reign was 5000 . Multiply that by 700 years and you have 3 . 5 million deaths from just one sport ? makes hockey seem tame , doesn't it ?
