Obviously they must have been impersonators!! If they'd have been real Gladiators they would have fought the undercover police to the death instead of giving in so easily!!:lol:

 

The last time I was in Rome there were only 2 or 3 of the Gladiators around the Colliseum and they were all very courteous and entertaining. These new imposters must have just recently began to muscle in.
