At its peak, Rome hosted 200 days of gladiatorial games annually, where gladiators were forced to fight for their lives with no choice but to win; the audience came not merely to watch death but to observe how gladiators faced it with courage, as dying well in the arena held profound meaning in Roman culture, and gladiators could earn their freedom through successful combat, as demonstrated by one gladiator who received a wooden sword after nine fights as his reward for survival.

At its peak, Rome [music] hosted 200 days of gladiatorial games per year. The man on that sand did not choose to be there, but he had no choice but to win.
I have prepared 200 [music] men for that arena.
Maybe 30 are still alive.
You stop counting after a while. You have to.
People say we came to watch men die.
That is not it. We came to watch how they faced it. A man who dies well in that arena Syria, that meant everything to us.
They gave me a wooden sword [music] after nine fights, my freedom.
I walked out of that arena and I have not slept a whole night since, not once.
