What Roman Gladiators Did to Captive Women Was Worse Than Death

What Roman gladiators did to captive women reveals the darkest side of ancient Rome's arena system. This deep dive into Roman history uncovers the horrifying treatment of female prisoners, enslaved women, and the rare female gladiators who fought in the Colosseum. From brutal gladiator training schools to public executions and systematic exploitation, discover what really happened to women in ancient Rome's entertainment system. The reality of female gladiators like Amazon and Achillia was far more disturbing than Hollywood depicts. War captives and enslaved women faced unimaginable horrors in Rome's ludus training facilities and during arena executions. This historical documentary explores damnatio ad bestias, mythological re-enactments, and the legal framework that made such brutality possible. Based on primary sources from Martial, Tacitus, Josephus, and other ancient historians, this video examines archaeological evidence from the Ludus Magnus and Carnuntum gladiator schools. Learn how Christianity eventually ended these practices and why Roman historians tried to erase this chapter of history.
