What was the name given to a professional fighter in Ancient Rome?
Correct answer: Gladiator
Mel
MOST GLADIATORS WERE SLAVES WHO DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT FIGHTING. SOME DID VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT AND THEY WERE VERY POPULAR.
Tom
Professional fighters?? they were almost always slaves. A slave cannot be a professional anything. The word "profession" is used when expert, dedicated, even full-time, tradesman or many other descriptors are better.
