This episode looks at how gladiators were forged in the gladiator schools of the Roman Empire. We begin by discussing what the gladiator school/ ludus looked like, including its facilities and staff. We then discuss how one would join a gladiator school and rise of the gladiator ranks from novice to primus paulus.
We also discuss what it was like to actually live in the ludus over the course of one's career. This includes gladiator training and diet. Additionally, we discuss socializing, doctors appointments, pre-fight meals, and other aspects regarding the daily life of a gladiator in the ludus. Naturally, the high point of these experiences would be the gladiator battle scene that unfolded in the mighty arena.
