Gladiators Handout Who were gladiators? Mostly unfree individuals such as condemned criminals, prisoners or war, slaves. Some were volunteers (freedmen or low class free-born men) who did it for fame and money. Women could be gladiators – called Gladeatrix – but these were rare. Different types of gladiatorial games • Animals in the arena - Venationes • Executions • Man vs man Q. What is the name of the arena (above) recreated for the film Gladiator (2000)? Q. How many people could it hold and when was it built? Types of gladiators Gladiators were distinguished by the kind of armour they wore, the weapons they used and their style of fighting. • Eques These would begin on horseback and usually finish fighting in hand-to-hand combat. • Hoplomachus These were heavy-weapons fighters who fought with a long spear and dagger. • Provocator These were attackers who were usually heavily armed. Generally, they were slower and less agile than the other fighters listed above. They wore pectoral covering the vulnerable upper chest, padded arm protector and one greave on his left leg. • Retiarius These were known as “net-men”, i.e. they fought with a net with a long trident and small dagger. They were the quickest and most mobile of all the fighters. They fought with practically no armour that made them more vulnerable to serious injuries during fights. • Bestiarius These were individuals who were trained to fight against wild animals such as tigers and lions. Mostly criminals were sentenced to fight in this role, they, however, would not be trained nor armed. They were the least popular of all the gladiator fighters. Q.

Spectators and Gladiators in the US Environmental Movement, 2000-2010
Survivor: Spectators and Gladiators in the US Environmental Movement, 2000-2010 Soon Seok Park and Andrew Raridon Social Movement Studies 16(6):721-734. Abstract: What motivates people to participate in which forms of environmental activism? To address this question, we revise empirical models examining environmental activism by disaggregating the outcome variable of movement participation and dichotomizing two key motivational factors. Using repeated cross-sectional data from the US General Social Survey of 2000 and 2010, this study conducts logistic regression of four forms of participation on perceived severity and sense of efficacy, while accounting for biographical availability and political engagement. Results from regression analysis show that vocabularies of motive have substantial impacts on an individual’s likelihood of: 1) signing a petition; 2) giving money; 3) joining a group; and 4) joining a protest or demonstration. Their effects are large enough to override the noticeable impacts of liberalism and education. This study also finds that the level of participation in the movement across all forms has decreased between 2000 and 2010. These findings direct our attention to the limited capacity of the public sphere to accommodate the environmental movement during the last decade, as well as to potential changes in environmental activism in the coming decades that may mobilize those previously less likely to participate. Keywords: environmental movement, vocabularies of motive, movement participation, liberalism, education, United States Correspondence Address: Soon Seok Park, 700 W. State Street Stone Hall 341 West Lafayette, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907. United States Notes on Contributors Soon Seok Park is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Sociology at Purdue University.

American Gladiators
HIRTY-FOUR YEARS ago an Elvis imper- sonator named John Ferraro and an iron- worker named Dan Carr took over a high school gym and put on a fund-raiser produc- tion for the people of Erie, Pa., originally called King of the County. The show was a Rust Belt rethinking of the coliseum spec- tacles of ancient Rome, in which strong men fought to the death for entertainment’s sake. The locals who accepted this challenge were far from mythic. They were electricians, truck drivers, car dealers—anyone who would savagehisneighbor for$500. The featsof Muscleheads, patriotic strength in which they engaged were crude: arm wrestling, tug-of-war. The whole thing spandex and colossal was set to music; 5,000 people showed up. Ferraro had the good sense to hire a camera Q-tips—the inside story crew, as he hoped to sell the idea as a movie. of how a half-baked (Carr bowed out.) But when he finally got in front of Hollywood macher Samuel Gold- backwoods movie idea wyn Jr., Goldwyn told Ferraro that what he had on his hands was a much smaller produc- made reality TV history tion, something that would work better on TV. and reaped ratings gold For seven years American Gladiators— revised on TV to pit Average Joes against a team of superfit pros—enthralled a curious nation with its star-spangled spandex onesies, campy stage names, blow-dried personali- ties and punishing hits. When Bill Clinton copped to watching A M E R I C A N theshow intheWhiteHouse,it went from being a fratty, ironic viewing choice—“Star Search for the working man,” Ferraro calls it—to a cult hit.

Buried beneath the earth near Vienna, Austria, archaeologists have made a big discovery- the nearly complete remains of an ancient Roman gladiator school. The massive school, built during the 2nd centu ry A.D, includes cellblocks, a training arena, and a bath complex. It is the first gladiator school, or ludus (plural: "l udi"), found outside Rome, Italy. "Alth ough some 100 Judi are thou ght to have existed in the Roman Empire, almost all have been destroyed or built over," the team from Austri a, Belgium, and Germany said in a statemen t. The researchers discovered the school in 2011 at the site of the ancient city of Carnuntum . They found it not by digging, but by using noninvasive techniques such as aerial (taken from an aircraft) photography and ground -penetratin g radar. They also attached an electromagnetic sensor to a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle that allowed them to locate hidden bricks underground. The researchers then re-created the site in virt ual 3-D models.

The Colosseum As an Enduring Icon of Rome: a Comparison of the Reception of the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus
The Colosseum as an Enduring Icon of Rome: A Comparison of the Reception of the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus. “While stands the Coliseum, Rome shall stand; When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls - the World.”1 The preceding quote by Lord Byron is just one example of how the Colosseum and its spectacles have captivated people for centuries. However, before the Colosseum was constructed, the Circus Maximus served as Rome’s premier entertainment venue. The Circus was home to gladiator matches, animal hunts, and more in addition to the chariot races. When the Colosseum was completed in 80 CE, it became the new center of ancient Roman amusement. In the modern day, thousands of tourists each year visit the ruins of the Colosseum, while the Circus Maximus serves as an open field for joggers, bikers, and other recreational purposes, and is not necessarily an essential stop for tourists. The ancient Circus does not draw nearly the same crowds that the Colosseum does. Through an analysis of the sources, there are several explanations as to why the Colosseum remains a popular icon of Rome while the Circus Maximus has been neglected by many people, despite it being older than and just as popular as the Colosseum in ancient times. Historiography Early scholarship on the Colosseum and other amphitheaters focused on them as sites of death and immorality. Katherine Welch sites L. Friedländer as one who adopted such a view, 1 George Gordon Byron, “Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, canto IV, st. 145,” in The Selected Poetry of Lord Byron, edited by Leslie A.

Poland Has Fallen, Overwhelmed by the Whiplash Speed of the Blitzkrieg
April, 1940: Poland has fallen, overwhelmed by the whiplash speed of the blitzkrieg. Now it's Scandinavia's turn. Denmark will provide little challenge, but what of Norway ? Gone are the open plains of Silesia, replaced by densely forested mountains and frozen fjords. Will the blitzkrieg work in country where winter doesn't really end until the middle of May? For the first time, the Royal Navy will come into play - which will prove superior, the heavily-armored might of the British battlefleet, or the precision bombing of the Luftwaffe ? This will be the debut of the true air-sea-land campaign; can the Germans combine all three elements successfully ? And the battle must be quick - the invasion of France will allow no delays. We'll play the Operation Weseruebung scenario, which runs in three-day turns from the beginning of April to the middle of June and covers the full historical campaign. No variants will be used - both sides will have to play what they've been dealt. For those who are following along, we'll use the Quick Start invasion plan. It follows history, is easier than making up your own, and is pretty much the best plan anyway. (continued on page 26) April 2,1940: loaded with airplane fuel, three future Allied landing forces. Finally, artillery batteries, and a coastal BB Warspite, CL Arethusa and CV The Germans dispatch 2 AP's defense battery into sea zones Furious (with 2 Skua and 1 Swordfish (Transport ships) towards Narvik where the gasoline and artillery points) sail into the North Sea to carrying a coastal defense battery and will be very welcome to isolated, provide air support for the soon to be a battery of the 730th Artillery.

Bloody Roman Narratives: Gladiators, 'Fatal Charades' and Senecan Theatre
Issue Four, Winter 2003 Art and Pain home current issue archives gallery contact Return to Contents Bloody Roman Narratives: Gladiators, "Fatal Charades" & Senecan Theatre Paul Monaghan University of Melbourne I. Introduction In an interview not long before his death in 1995, East German playwright Heiner Müller predicted that the theatrical medium would soon be faced with an important decision. Provoked by the fact that one of his plays, Mauser, in which a character is executed, had been performed in a penitentiary by murderers awaiting the death penalty, Müller asked what it would mean for theatre if some one were to be really killed in a performance? A borderline would have been crossed and the medium would face a crisis: There will be gladiator games again in the not too distant future. There will be performances where people will be actually killed. There is already an indication of this in television, everything is moving in that direction: reality TV. What will that mean for the theatre? Will the theatre become part of it, will it be integrated or will it find another route and remain symbolic? That is the essential question (in Weber, 2001: 228). This paper seeks to ask a question: if it is the case that the audience of mainstream entertainment are showing an overwhelming preference for ‘reality television’ over fiction as represented in film and theatre, then what can we learn from history when the line between staged actual pain and staged fictional pain became blurred? Bert States proposes that theatre is continually fed by "a certain roughage of hard-core reality" (1985:39).
