Gladiators Research Paper

oman Empire gladiators were thoroughly equipped with everything that was needed by them at the time of battle. Likewise, athletes in today’s sports are equipped with everything they need for a game or for a practice. Depending on their class, gladiators were equipped with padding to protect themselves, however, almost all of them were equipped with a helmet or some sort of head protection. Likewise, wrestlers and football players are also provided with protection for their heads although football helmets are much more protective to cutback on the amount of concussions. Football players are also equipped with padding to decrease their risk of injury. The gladiators were dressed in armor protecting their bodies similar to the padding worn by
football players, however their armor was made out of metals in order to prevent them from being wounded, while football padding is simply there to decrease the impact of being tackled and cause serious injury such as fractures.
