Gladiators' Sex Lives
4Description
Who really were the gladiators of Ancient Rome?
With them once again hitting the big screens this month, we wanted to take you back a couple of thousand years to find out more about the people who fought and what their lives were really like.
What rights in society did they have? How often did they meet a gruesome end? And were they sex symbols?
Joining Kate is historian and expert in all things Ancient Rome, Emma Southon, author of A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women, to help us find out more.
