WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -It is from Juvenal too that we find an extremely ungenerous description of a woman fighting as a gladiator: female gladiators – or gladiatrices – were rare, and were marketed as a novelty attraction, but they did exist.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evidence suggests that a number of women participated in the public games of Rome even though this practice was often criticized by Roman writers and attempts were made to regulate it through legislation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Where people sat in the Colosseum was determined by Roman law. The best seats were reserved for the Senators. Behind them were the equestrians or ranking government officials. A bit higher up sat the ordinary Roman citizens (men) and the soldiers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gladiatrix (plural gladiatrices) is the female equivalent of the gladiator of ancient Rome. Like their male counterparts, gladiatrices fought each other, or wild animals, to entertain audiences at various games and festivals.
