         <description><![CDATA[<div>Gladiator fights have become a defining feature of the Roman Empire, but they’re part of a tradition that actually began rather slowly – and well before the Colosseum was built. So, what were gladiator fights? In ancient Rome, gladiator fights occurred as a form of entertainment (like modern day sports). Gladiators would fight to the death, sometimes accompanied by animals, to entertain the masses of Rome.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Roman gladiators were put through rigorous physical and psychological training that included instructions on how to behave, how to die, and how to perform various war and combat tactics to stay alive during fights. Roman gladiators were thoroughly examined by physicians and trainers before being allowed to join training camps. Once accepted, gladiators learned how to use various tools such as shields and wooden swords, and how to ride horses to give themselves the greatest advantage during combat.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Roman Gladiator fights and their combat techniques depended on the type of weapons that they used and the armor that they wore. Heavily armored gladiators were well protected for the fights but restricted in his movements by his equipment.  Lightly armed gladiators would have freedom of movement and speed during his fights but with little or to nothing to protect him. The gladiator fights, the styles and techniques therefore varied from one gladiator to another.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[A retiarius fought with a trident and net. Secutores were armed with a sword and they carried a shield. Murmillones fought with a sword (and didn’t have a back-up weapon) and carried a shield. A hoplomachus fought with a lance and a dagger. Thraeces were armed with a curved sword and carried a small shield. A Samnite was heavily armed with a short sword and heavy shield. A Provocator was armed with a sword and shield. Equites started their fights on horseback with lances, but finished on foot with a sword. Essedarius gladiators were armed with both a lance and a sword. Fighting with two daggers and little armour to weigh him down, a dimachaerius relied on speed and agility to overcome an opponent. A laquerarius was just like a retiarius (see above), but instead of a net, they used a lasso to trap their opponent. A Sagittarius was armed with a bow. An Andabatus fought with lances
