In the times of Rome (Ancient, Republic, Empire/Principate Eras), was there such a thing as recreational Gladiatoring? Similar to calling a friend and say "Hey let's go to the park and play a game of basketball"? And was going to Gladiator fights in the same spirit as taking kids to a baseballgame?
