What Are the Spectacles?

Spectacles probably varied a lot depending o n where they were put on in rome. This is the centre of power. That's where the resources really exist, and that's where the emperor is motivated to put on significant shows as demonstration of his power. In smaller arenas out the on the fringes of empire, chances are you're going to have many fewer shows. They're gong to be much more modest in number. Sough a bit more humble, and probably things ung gamit. I'd like to move on a little bit to ask probably one of the main contextual questions, whichis, who atshe became a gladiator? Who were they?
