Why Did Gladiators Fight To The Death?

In the passages “Gladiator University” By Jennifer Marino Walters and the passage “ Did Gladiators Fight to the Death?” they show that over time that developments have changed the ways we understand how gladiators live. We had beliefs before about gladiators. As we discover new things our beliefs are changing. We had many beliefs before the discovery of the training school for gladiators. We had beliefs that gladiators always fought to their death, as stated in the text it says in paragraph 5 “ Huge crowds gathered to watch these warriors battle to their death in amphitheater..” This shows that we believe that most gladiators would fight until they died. Also we believed that most gladiators were prisoner of war who were forced to fight in paragraph 6. These are just a few examples about what we believed before the discovery of the school in 2011, about 6 years ago.
According to Kathleen Coleman, in paragraph 4, this discovery gave us a vivid impression of what it was like to live and train as a gladiator. This discovery showed us a lot more about how gladiators lived and trained in their daily lives. In these buildings their were heated floors for winter training, plumbing, hospitals, and also graveyards near by as stated in paragraph 7. In the training school at least 80 gladiators lived and trained at the school year round as stated in paragraph 8. Also, one or two people slept in a 32- square-foot-cell and their was a wing that was separate from the cell that their trainers slept as stated in paragraph 8. The things stated from the passage show how they trained and how they lived. Also, this led us believing new beliefs
