They had boat battles in the Collosiea.

The Colloseum was built in a way that allowed for flooding the center and having naval mock battles with small boats in it.

>>382875129
They were real fights, but not to the death.
There are plenty of inscriptions on tombstones of gladiators that say how many fights they've had and how many they lost and one.
They usually lost a fair number without dying.

>>382875129

>train a slave for years
>thinking theyd waste all that investment in one match

>The most explicit recorded incidents of public sex involving humans and animals activity are associated with the murderous sadism, torture and rape of the Roman games and circus.[1] Masters reports: "Beasts were specially trained to copulate with women: if the girls or women were unwilling then the animal would attempt rape. A surprising range of creatures was used for such purposes - bulls, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, wild boar, zebras, stallions, jackasses, huge dogs, apes, etc. The beasts were taught how to copulate with a human being [whether male or female] either via the vagina or via the anus."[1] Representations of scenes from the sexual lives of the gods, such as Pasiphaë and the Bull, were highly popular, often causing extreme suffering, injury or death.[1] On occasion, the more ferocious beasts were permitted to kill and (if desired) devour their victims afterwards.[1] Chimpanzees and mandrills, both in fact ferocious and very powerful species of primate, "made drunk by wine and inflamed by the odor of females of their kind, were loosed upon girls whose genitals had been drenched with the urine of female chimps and mandrills."[1] The victims were often virgins and not infrequently young children.[1] One spectacle is said to have included "a hundred tiny blonde girls being raped simultaneously by a horde of baboons."[1]

The Romans were some sick fucks.

You are retarded if you think someone would clothe, feed, shelter and train a slave for years if they were going to just die when they lost a fight.

>>382875302
There have been works that estimate the actual percentage of deaths; the highest I've heard is 1/5 matches resulting in a death, quite often accidentally. That was Mary Beard's estimate. Many other authors have estimate somewhere between 1/5 and 1/8 matches resulting in deaths.
We actually do have some statistics to work with, it's not just blind guesses. Some of this is thanks to Pompeii; 'posters' in the Roman world were just painted directly onto walls, and weren't mounted on paper or parchment or whatever. So the fact that Pompeii and Herculaneum preserved so much in rather pristine condition means that we ended up with some of this posters still being on the walls and clearly readable. Specifically, there were multiple posters regarding gladiator games, you might call them programmes. They would list each fight in order of their appearance, along with the style of fighter of each person and their number of previous wins. Fortunately for us, many of these posters were 'defaced' by people adding in the result of the match later on.
It was expensive to train slaves and volunteers into professional gladiators, so just as you said there was an economic incentive for matches to end without fatalities.
However, bear in mind that gladiatorial combat was eventually used as a way of executing condemmed prisoners, and these would have therefore been much more disposable gladiators.

>>382875302
>>382875356
Maybe sometimes, but lots of gladiators were actually criminals, usually ones that were on death row. The duels were just a way to execute them

There's a big fucking difference between it being fights to the death, and it being WWE-tier staged. The Colosseum was usually not to the death, so when someone got knocked out or otherwise incapacitated, that was usually it, unless the Emperor signalled thumbs up (most likely up for an unsheathed sword, down would be sheath your blade) for some reason (usually this was in matches that were to the death, which were not the norm).

Quite a few fighters died in the ring, but most were simply wounded and surrendered. More died from infected wounds and such after the fight than during the fight itself (much like in real wars).

Down: Placing a thumb against the neck then pulling it away while turning it downwards.

Literally worked out a few days ago. The ash, rock and concrete mixes together forming a interlocking link of molecules. It only does so in specific chemical situations; such as salt water. So it gets harder, not softer.

You forget that if modern humans used this shit, it would be a massive economic sink. If you can repair a bridge, building, pot holes every 10 years instead of every 10,000, you're gonna make $$$. It's the same reason why mobile phones in early 2000's could last days on a single battery charge but today they only last 6 hours despite massive improvements in battery life. It's called Planned Obsolescence. It's more economically sound to make shit tier batteries that will degrade over 1-3 years and eventually force the customer to either fork out $50 on a new battery or, in the most usual cases, fork out $500 on a new phone because 'why not?'.

Economies in the West is all about buying things you don't need, with money you don't have to impress people you don't like.

No. Maybe. Not so simple.
The social significance of being a gladiator meant you were an actor, a performer. Someone who practically sells his own body (dancers and prostitutes were included in this definition among others) and therefore morally unhygienic. All bodily performers were exempt from military service, but that in turn meant they were incapable of pursuing politics which makes them the equivalent of freedmen though possibly even less.

Of course it mattered who you were, what you exactly performed and to whom.

As fights became more popular and the demand for them, as well as the obscene amount presented by less reputable emperors, grew more gladiators were needed. Since Rome had stoped conquering and therefore had less slaves to waste in the arena when they could be doing more productive jobs they opened it up for average people. Not usually citizens but other people who lived in the Empire. Largely this was grabbed up by the poor and destitute since they had nothing to lose and were already invalidated to become citizens and thus couldn't join the Cursus Honorum without serving in the military for the 25 years to be citizens. Culturally it was seen as somewhat shameful so it's not like it was a great thing to be. Think of it as professional wrestling and many of the fights followed the same mock fighting. Also look at the discourses concerning Commodus acting as a gladiator. It was a large point of shame and mockery. Don't think that being a Gladiator was a big thing and something to be proud of. Any aristocrat would look down their nose at you unless you were someone they cheered for. Also chariot races were much more popular and had it's Footballer club style rivalries that turned into riots at time.

While planned obsolescence is definitely a thing you're wrong about why battery life has shortened so much. Old phones were very rarely actually doing that much, and what they did used up very little power. Compare that to phones today which have a ton of processing power, are constantly connected to the internet, and which are used for more battery intensive tasks far more often than your old nokia would even be open.

>>382875896
wew

>>382888412
For sure, but a battery could do similar charge life. The reason they don't is because $$$.

>>382888615
And because people want a new smartphone because after 2 to 3 years the old phone isnt powerful anymore. Personally what bothers me more is that they charge insane amount to replace your screen because it has become part of the case now. Wouldnt mind paying a bit more for a phone that doesnt cost an arm and a leg to replace the screen

>>382888615
>>For sure, but a battery could do similar charge life. The reason they don't is because $$$.
No, if anyone could invent a high power battery that lasts a week, they'd make billions.

Battery tech is just dogshit. It's fundamentally no different from the crap Romans figured out with pots full of lemon juice, things have just got smaller. The old Nokia batteries were 1000 mah, tops, most phones now have batteries twice that size. The old shit was just much less taxing.

>>382888750
Stop breaking your phones. I've never even chipped a screen, they're hard to break. If you're a butterfingers, buy a case. Non-replacable batteries are much worse than screens.

We have accounts of queen Cleopatra's 14 year old sister being dragged into Rome naked in a cage.The Romans were outraged and booed and threw things at caesar when he rose for a speech and demanded she be released.Since she was from ptolemaic egypt The patricians in the front row could hear and understand her sobs and cries in greek.

It stands to reason if the pagan Romans were outraged by one little girl they'd be outraged by a hundred.The crowd is still human you would need to keep them on side

In today's economy everything has to be done as fast as humanly possible and there are so many projects everything is standardized as much as possible and shoved out the door as fast as possible.

No it wasn't. What happened then is that cultures with gods that has the same themes got correlated for ease mutual religious respect.

Nope, greeks were fags times 11 and Romans were more degenerate and diplomatic.

your right that they were built to last and it took a long time to build by modern standards.

But they didn't take hundreds of years that would outlast the emperor who would be funding the project. For example the Pyramid of Giza (the Pyramid of Cheops) is thought to have taken between 10 and 20 years.

They might have added things over the years rebuild or changed things but that wouldn't have been planned from the start.

I'm talking building as a whole. There are cathedrals in England that took 80-100 years to finish. There was one in France t hat took 300 years. Even so 10 to 20 years is a fucking long time. There is still a lot of potential down time in there.

>colosseumfags mad that they will never get Chariot Race

NEVER EVER

From memory there were
>net and trident gladiator: these were the DEX class, and considered the most effeminate
>sword and shield and armour gladiator: the STR class.
>Sword and shield and super heavy armor, but with tiny eyeholes: the meme class that was actually ok
>pants wearing gladiators
>dual shortsword wielding gladiators
>mounted gladiator
>beastmaster
>archer
