Excellent, very graphic and informative; at the same time sad but it was a different time.

exellent 5/5, interesting, exciting with lots of different gladiators, great documentary

If you have a basic intrest in gladiators, you wont learn much of anything new. Still interresting to watch. if you dont know the diferent types of gladiators they had, youll learn alot. 8.5/10

If you liked Gladiator then this should be right up your alley. This was a sad and often tragic trip into the lives of the men who lived and died violently often to satisfy the blood lust of the Roman people. Sound familiar? Makes me glad I live in 2010 but have we really changed all that much? :-(

really good, nicely done with good effects and attractive science and history bits

An interesting channel 4 documentary, sheds light on the life and death of the gladiators of York, England during the roman occupation. Its mostly about how they died and the culture surrounding the arenas. * * * *
