Your word. What if you don't return?

Gladiator games lasted for nearly a thousand years, reaching their peak between the 1st century BC and the 2nd century AD. Christians disapproved of the games because they involved idolatrous pagan rituals. The popularity of gladatorial contests declined in the fifth century, leading to their disappearance.
