Dictionary entry overview: What does gladiator mean? â¢ GLADIATOR (noun) The noun GLADIATOR has 2 senses: 1. (ancient Rome) a professional combatant or a captive who entertained the public by engaging in mortal combat 2. a professional boxer Familiarity information: GLADIATOR used as a noun is rare.
George Ville, using evidence from 1st century gladiator headstones, calculated an average age at death of 27, and mortality among all who entered the arena at 19/100. Marcus Junkelmann disputes Ville's calculation for average age at death; the majority would have received no headstone, and would have died early in their careers, at 18â25 years of age. Between the early and later Imperial periods the risk of death for defeated gladiators rose from 1/5 to 1/4, perhaps because missio was granted less often.
