Im doing alright so far. I've found some information about Gladiators that seemed pretty interesting:

Gladiators:

• Brought to Rome from Etruria
• Gladiator fights were first established in 264 BC and ended by 404 AD
• By the end of the first century AD Roman citizens were given free access to watch the gladiators fight
• Skilled fighters
• Fights were very popular
• Gladiators fought in huge amphitheaters such as The Colosseum
