Where did the ancient roman gladiators fight?
Gladiators had fought in the Roman Colosseum, and in other provinces of significant size. For example, in what is now known as Croatia, there still stands a Roman arena used for gladiatorial combat. Gladiators also fought wild beasts, killed prisoners, and performed other acts of violence witnessed by millions of people over the hundreds of years the Roman Republic and Empire existed.
Who were gladiators and what did they do?
In ancient Rome, gladiators fought, often to the death, to entertain crowds of spectators. Gladiators were trained in ludi ([sg. ludus]) to fight well in circuses (or the Colosseum) where the ground surface was covered with blood-absorbing harena 'sand' (hence, the name 'arena').
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.
