in hollywood movies you always see gladiators fight to the death, how was this in real life. I find it hard to believe that a lanista would throw away money so easy (training a gladiator is very expensive). I think that it was mixed, most fights were not to the death, only in special occasoins did the gladiators fight to the death (birthday present for the emperor?)<br>

also, what are good books about the subject of gladiators (also URL's)<br>
