We owe so much of our current society to Rome. From philosophy to concrete and newspapers , no ancient society has had as much of an impact on our society.
However, while they valued higher education, hygiene, and morals, they weren’t above a little entertainment every now and then. And while we have action movies and reality TV, they had…well, live fights to the death.
You’ve probably read about famous gladiators in history class or seen them in movies like Gladiator, but do you know the real stories behind Rome’s most famous gladiators?
Read on to learn the stories of Rome’s 10 most famous gladiators.
When you think of animals and Roman gladiators, you probably think of the centuries-old stories of men fighting hordes of lions and jackals. While there’s some truth to that, there were so many other beasts captured and placed into the arena.
Carpophorus would know. The legendary fighter was known for fighting man and beast alike.
In fact, Carpophorus was so skilled that his most famous fight featured him taking down an estimated 20 beasts in a single fight. The fight featured a variety of animals including lions, bears, and even rhinos.
So next time you get winded at the gym and want to give up, know that it could be way, way worse.
Spartacus is far and away the most famous gladiator. Though he was believed to be royalty, Spartacus wasn’t always the fierce warrior we know today.
In fact, he was captured and taken from his home at an early age and sold into a life of slavery. Eventually, he made his way into the coliseum where he began what would amount to a legendary career as the leader of a massive slave rebellion where thousands of men and women fought for their freedoms.
You may know Spartacus’ story from the wildly popular Stanley Kubrick film. And believe it or not, historians seem to agree with much of the film’s account, including his time in as a gladiator.
Commodus was the world’s first hype-man, demanding that his bouts in the coliseum be recorded for posterity in what amounted to ancient newspapers. Think of him as a famous gladiator version of Connor McGregor.
Commodus bought his own hype, sure, but he had the skills to back it up. Over his career, he won dozens of fights. In fact, if you believe his own accounts, his career consisted over well over 1,000 victories.
But what really set Commodus apart is the fact that he was actually an emperor. In an era of rulers using the deaths of men and women as distractions, it was rare to see an emperor willing to step up and do battle himself.
Those who watched or streamed Starz’s Spartacus TV series or have seen Kubrick’s famous film may recognize Crixus as Spartacus’ friend and close confidant.
Though historians are unsure of how well the two actually knew each other, each served as an inspiration for the other. In fact, Crixus used his time as a gladiator to start his own slave rebellion much like his counterpart.
Unfortunately, things didn’t quite go according to plan. After several hard-fought battles, Crixus’ forces fell. Upon hearing the news, Spartacus reportedly sacrificed 300 Roman slaves in Crixus’ honor.
It’s a common saying that if you’re good at something, you should get paid to do it. When it came to murdering people for the entertainment of thousands, Flamma was a champion like no other.
While many men were forced into a gladiatorial lifestyle, few won their freedom. What’s more, those who were lucky enough to win back their freedom often took the first possible opportunity to leave and start a new life.
Instead, Flamma decided that fighting was his calling. Despite countless awards and victories, Flamma chose to stay and live out the remainder of his life in the arena, eventually dying at the age of 30.
Technically Domitian wasn’t a famous gladiator at all. However, he did love a good fight, and boy did he ever love brutality. In fact, his time in the arena was so brutal he warrants an inclusion on this list.
Despite never stepping foot on the hallowed sands of the coliseum, Domitian left quite an impact. According to history, a spectator once booed his favorite gladiator.
While you’d expect that to amount to little if any conflict, Domitian took it as a slight. He demanded his guards seize the man and toss him onto the arena floor where a pack of starved dogs tore the heckler apart.
Sometimes fights in the Coliseum have a happy ending. Such is the tale of two talented fighters, Priscus and Verus.
Over the years, the two did battle so many times that their legendary fights became a tourist attraction. Their battles were so entertaining that both men received their freedom and left alive and relatively unscathed.

Marcus Attilius’ fights were so popular they became the inspiration for some of the world’s first graffiti. And after learning about his gladiatorial career, it’s no wonder why.
Attilius became a fan favorite from his first few fights. Where other rookies would fall to the sword quickly, Marcus Attilius gave it his all, overcoming the odds on a regular basis.
Mevia was one of the only known female gladiators to achieve success in the arena. Like Carpophorus before her, she was forced to fight mostly animals.
Unlike Carpophorus, the majority of her fights involved random and unnecessary nudity.
Still, she achieved relative fame and became queen to a small colony of slaves in southern Syria.
Where most gladiators would enter the arena armed to the teeth with excess weapons and armor, Tetraites was famous for going into the arena with little to no armor.
With only a sword, shin guards, a shield, and helmet, Tetraites left his entire midsection unguarded, intentionally leaving himself vulnerable.
Even with a lack of armor, he defeated enemy after enemy, enjoying a long career.
There’s so much more to famous gladiators that what you see in the movies. These gladiators entered the arena — often unwillingly — and gave it their all.

Five old friends, one dangerous new enemy ... and …

Last updated: August 11, 2021 by Saugat Adhikari
The ancient Romans were not as into philosophy and teaching as the Greeks, but they absolutely loved finding new forms of entertainment to spice up their otherwise mundane lives. Today, even the thought of gladiators beating each other to death in a huge arena full of enthusiastic onlookers would create unprecedented outrage, but to the ancient Romans this was a popular and common form of entertainment. However, despite the short life expectancy, being a gladiator was in many ways one of the most glamorous professions in ancient Rome. Gladiator battles would draw thousands of spectators, including the biggest names in contemporary Roman society.
In order to honor the most popular of these ancient Roman superstars, here is the list of the top 10 ancient Roman gladiators:

Tetraites was a popular gladiator in ancient Rome, famous for his murmillones-styled fights which involved entering the arena bare chested wielding a sword and shield and wearing a helmet. Though details of many of his fights remain largely undocumented, he is well known for his victory over Prudes. The two of them had made quite a name for themselves already – both their names are depicted on glass vessels found in present-day France, England, and Hungary. The carvings portray the victory of Tetraites over Prudes , and most probably the moment when his fame reached new heights.
One of the most famous gladiators who lived in the first century AD in Rome was Spiculus. Not only was he popular with regular audiences, but he was also greatly admired by the notorious Roman emperor Nero. Spiculus went on to win a number of battles and emerged victorious against many skilled adversaries. Nero was particularly impressed by his heroics and awarded him with more palaces and riches than he could have asked for. Nero had become so fond of him that when he was overthrown in 68 AD, he wanted to die a swift death at the hands of Spiculus. But his aides could not get hold of Spiculus in time and Nero took his own life. Spiculus’s fame did not only revolve around his relationship with Nero, and his depictions in several ancient Roman artworks bear testimony to his far-reaching popularity.
Not much had been documented about the life of the ancient Roman gladiator Hermes. However, he earns lavish praise from a contemporary Roman poet called Martial, so much so that Martial even dedicated an entire poem to praising his skills as a gladiator. In the poem, every line begins with the name Hermes, and Martial describes him as a skillful fighter who enjoyed overwhelming superiority over other gladiators.
Most gladiators chose a certain type of fighting style and trained hard to master the relevant skills. Hermes was well trained at using many different gladiator weapons and was not only versed in most fighting styles, but also proficient in at least three different gladiator techniques – a knowledge that gave him a huge advantage over his opponents.
These two might have won a number of fights as competent gladiators in their careers, but they are mostly known for their legendary final battle in which they faced off against each other. Priscus and Verus fought this epic battle in the first century AD in the famous Flavian Amphitheater. As it happened, their ultimate battle was also the first big spectacle in the Flavian arena, a spectacle that was documented in detail by the poet Martial. After fighting for hours in a nail-biting contest, the two warriors submitted to each other at the same time. In respect for each other’s skill and mettle, they put down their swords and were met with roaring appreciation from the crowd. The organizer of the event, Emperor Titus, was also moved by the way the battle had concluded. He awarded the pair with the “rudis,” a small wooden sword that granted freedom to gladiators upon their retirement.
When Marcus Attilius fought his first battle as a gladiator, he was just a young novice and was given the designation of “tiro” which was a title given to a gladiator who was just commencing his career. Usually, the organizers would pit gladiators of similar status and experience against one another, but Marcus Attilius was to face Hilarus, an imperial gladiator who had already fought 14 fights and won 12 of them. Just as everyone thought that Marcus did not stand a chance, the newcomer scored a thumping victory over the veteran, staging an upset that earned him much admiration. From this rose the legend of Marcus Attilius, who went on to defeat the likes of Raecius Felix, another fighter who had won 12 fights in a row.
The era of the ancient Roman gladiators saw a number of popular bestiarii, or gladiators who fought wild animals. This profession was notorious for its ridiculously short life expectancy, even by gladiators’ standards. Being a celebrated bestiarius, Carpophorus was instinctively gifted when it came to fighting wild animals, and he was far more skilled at fighting animals in the arena than at fighting in hand-to-hand combat against fellow gladiators. Carpophorus would routinely face off against vicious wild animals such as lions, bears, leopards, and rhinos. He even fought at the opening of the famed Flavian Amphitheater and defeated bears, lions, and leopards in a single battle. On another occasion, he killed a rather ferocious rhino with a single spear. But his personal best and the crowd’s favorite performance came when he killed 20 different beasts in a single battle.
A well-known military leader during the Third Servile War, Crixus used to be a Gallic gladiator who enjoyed noteworthy success against much bigger opponents. But he absolutely despised the leader of his gladiator school and his owner. So when a revolt broke out in the training school, Crixus was a happy volunteer among the 70 gladiators who escaped. He then played a pivotal role in defeating a small group of soldiers sent to quell their rebellion.
Soon, other escapee gladiators joined their ranks and formed a fearsome group. But all Crixus wanted was retribution on upper-class Roman society. This led to a dispute between him and the rebellion leader, and he left the group along with several of his supporters with the intention of destroying Southern Italy. But destiny had different plans for Crixus as the Roman legions were able to track him down before he was able to perpetrate a surprise attack. He did fight with all his might in the hopeless battle that ensued, but eventually died at the hands of his enemy.
Commodus was an infamous Roman emperor who was obsessed with performing in the arena as a gladiator. Many of us may know him from Joaquin Phoenix’s portrayal in the film Gladiator. He was notorious for his ego and considered himself above everyone else. At that time, despite the glamor and popularity that gladiators enjoyed, they were still considered lowly by the Roman upper classes. So Commodus had parts of his palace converted into an arena so as to fight as a gladiator in private. Of course, that was never going to be enough to satisfy his desire to fight as a real gladiator. Soon he started fighting in public battles with absolute disregard for his royal status. But these fights were never fair as his opponents were armed with wooden swords. Sometimes, he would stoop so low as to kill tethered and injured animals just to show off his non-existent fighting skills. Eventually, Commodus’s continuous and mindless dabbling in such antics led to his downfall when he was assassinated in 192 AD.
Flamma is one of the biggest names among ancient Roman gladiators. Of course, his true name wasn’t Flamma, which was just his battle name, meaning “flame.” But this skillful athlete absolutely justified his name with his track record as a fearsome gladiator. Before his career as a gladiator began, he was a Syrian soldier who was captured and thrown into battle against a powerful adversary in order to meet a quick death. Ultimately, he did meet his end in this way, but not after commanding unparalleled domination over countless opponents in the grand arena of the Colosseum. Using a small sword and a shield, and armor on only one half of his body, he terrorized his opponents for about 13 years in fights that attracted huge numbers of spectators. By the time he died at the age of 30, he had fought an astounding 34 battles, 21 of which he won, 9 were drawn and only 4 of them lost. He was awarded the rudis and his freedom on four different occasions. But each time, he declined the offer and continued to pursue his life as a warrior.
A Thracian soldier by birth, Spartacus was captured by the Romans and then sold as a slave. His owner owned a gladiator school in Capua and he saw the opportunity to cash in on Spartacus’s skills as a gladiator. But a true soldier values his freedom far more than anything else. Soon, Spartacus helped to mastermind a rebellion that ended with about 70 gladiators escaping from the gladiator school, all of them well armed with makeshift weapons. Crixus was among the escapees and soon he became Spartacus’s right-hand man.
Together, they escaped to the slopes of Mount Vesuvius and freed many more slaves on the way which increased their numbers significantly. Soon, Spartacus had amassed a formidable and skillful fighting force that went on to defeat the Roman legions sent to capture them on more than six different occasions. But in 71 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus came with a well-trained force of 50,000 men to wreak havoc among the rebel forces. Ultimately, Spartacus was unable to withstand the calculated attack from the Roman army and was killed in Southern Italy, thus ending the story of arguably the most famous gladiator in Roman history.
Roman gladiators enjoyed unmatched popularity among the general public as gladiators were seen as true working-class heroes. Yes, most of them were slaves, but that does not take away from the status they achieved in Roman history. Although their following was not so great among the higher echelons of society, such was the attraction of these grand gladiator battles that even Roman emperors enjoyed being part of the spectacle. The gladiators may have been looked down upon by upper-class Romans, but none of these people were ever able to match the fame and admiration these warriors achieved among the common people.
Hermes was a Greek god not a gladiator, besides that doesn’t look like a gladiator
Gladiators were performers/entertainers as much as they were fighters. Many of them had stage names and most likely their own gimmicks. It is very likely that this gladiator took ‘Hermes’ as his stage name and gimmick. He’d be very popular with the crowds if he pretended to be a Greek God come to fight in the Roman arenas, wouldn’t he?
I love the idea of gladiators and admire them. I always wonder what it was like back then. It would be cool to go back in time and become a spectator of these fights. I wanted to learn more about the gladiators and you helped me with that. Thank you for education :)
