The group LUDUS NEMESIS from the Netherlands not only shows fights, but also the social function of the bloody spectacle. Who knows that many gladiators were quite chubby? This came out through Austrian excavations in the gladiator cemetery of Ephesus. Because fat protects against cuts. The diet was very low in meat: the gladiators nickname at that time was grain grinders or barley eaters. And the use of gladiators shows that the games were not just for men.
