The Brutal Show.
Gladiator fights in Ancient Rome were a popular form of entertainment and at the same time bloodiest shows that history ever witnessed. Emperors knew what kept the Roman crowd happy. It was bread and circuses — and what circuses. The gladiators killed each other to musical accompaniment, played by girls on water-powered organs in the arena. As warm-up, Romans liked to see animals hunted to death. Demand for animals in the arena was so great that lions became extinct in Mesopotamia, elephants disappeared from North Africa, and tigers from the Caspian Sea. The rarer the animal, the better: even a polar bear is recorded as being sent to Rome. Not every animal was involved in death, some of them did tricks.

But tricks and hunting were not what the audience wanted to watch. They wanted proper fights, mass deaths.

And they got them. The Colosseum itself was a wonderful piece of work, designed for public death. It seated 50,000 spectators in five tiers, with free admission for all — emperors knew how to buy popularity — and all 50,000 could exit in two minutes in an emergency. Beneath in were underground cells and cages for gladiators and animals — there was not much difference in status. Lifts and trap doors could raise cages full of either men or animals into the middle of the arena. The Colosseum was built in 80 AD by the Emperor Titus; and in the first two weeks, 2,000 gladiators were killed in it; 900 animals were destroyed in its first hundred days.
