The Roman games.

Roman games were something created for entertainment and a type of theater. In the morning through the afternoon, it was either horse pulls or gladiator battles where men would fight to the death. In the evening through almost sun set there would be battles of ages and boxing matches for young people. On certain days, like traditional days of their culture, they would hold ceremonies and gatherings for families. A gladiator named John Solan was a fighter for the evening through sun set entertainment, his signature move was a body slam into a choke hold, and once he killed someone the first time doing it, he quit fighting because of his guilt. Only the morning through evening hours actually killed people not the sun set hours when rules were changed, they moved to history fights where men would fight with spears instead of fists, which then became less tragic of being beaten to death. 404 AD is when the Roman games ended because of Roman and Greek laws were being wrote, that when someone kills another they will be charged for that crime. The Roman king at the time Paul had a tradition where every 3 years a boxing match would be held for all ages to have a fight. It was written to be legal, if they had doctors and real medics watching during the fight.
