Did they have female Roman Gladiators?
No, there does not seem to be any female gladiators that are even named, let alone be famous. Most women would use a "stage name" anyhow, as they certainly would not want their family name associated with the lowest form of entertainment. This, of course, is assumed that they were free women who entered the arena voluntarily. The British Museum has a marble of two female gladiators with their names inscribed in Greek as "Amazon" and "Achillia". They are obviously stage names but there is no record of how famous these women were.
