Ancient history

Did both men and women fight each other when they were roman gladiators?

Yes, both men and women fought as gladiators in the Roman arenas, although female gladiators were relatively rare. They were known as "gladiatrices" and fought alongside men in various types of gladiatorial contests. However, it's important to note that female gladiators were not as common as their male counterparts and were often seen as a spectacle or novelty.
