2000 years ago Gladiators were some of the biggest sports stars in the Roman Empire.  They were both loved and hated and watched by people from all parts of Roman society, including the soldiers in Caerleon.  

Why not pop into our ludus, a gladiator training school? Our gladiators will train you to fight and tell you about the equipment and lives of these impressive warriors.
