Home of the main social events of the Flavian Amphitheatre Rome was the place where the various Roman emperors would boast of their achievements in distant lands, reconstructing in great detail the heroic battles reenacted by the gladiators and exotic animals.
The arena was the place where the slave-gladiator, very often a prisoner of war, had a chance to redeem his status, and after winning numerous battles would get, in some cases, even freedom. The people were fascinated by these events also because it played a key role in the choice of life or death of the gladiators themselves. The emperor indeed would get up from his throne and holding his arm placing his thumb horizontally. At that point the audience by yelling and screaming had to decide on the fate of the unfortunate gladiator.
