Ancient Roman chariot races took place in a circus. Circus in Roman terms meant a ring or an oval course for running races. The largest was the Circus Maximus, which some say could hold 100,000 people. There were also the Circus Flaminius and the Circus Maritimus.
Gladiators, who were often slaves or prisoners of war and sometimes even volunteer Romans, were highly trained athletes with skills in weaponry and hand-to-hand combat. They received their very specialized training at schools known as ludi. In the early days of the games, these schools were privately owned, but their ownership was eventually transferred to the state, in order to avoid the threat of a private army forming within the boundaries of the Roman Empire. The ludi provided gladiators with intense athletic training, as well as training with weaponry.The gladiators lived in barracks built especially for them, which were usually located near their home amphitheater. Because they were such expensive investments, gladiators were well fed and received the very best medical care of the day. Also, a gladiator usually did not fight on more than two or three matches each year. The gladiators from their certain ludi traveled together as a group, known as a familia, along with their lanista(trainer), from town to town throughout the Empire for gladiatorial games.

The gladiatorial games were very popular among the Romans. Some emperors, high executive officers of state and aristocrats spent enormous amounts of money on organising lavish gladiatorial games to portray themselves as benefactors and to gain popular support. The emperor Augustus introduced a law which capped private and public expenditure on the gladiatorial games. He said that this was necessary to save the roman elite from bankruptcy. However, this law was often ignored. Some 170 year later the emperor Marcus Aurelius introduced a similar law, but this was unsuccessful, too.
the where often watched by the populous of Rome not just nobles or emperors even the commoners where able to watch but no women and no slave unless accompanied by the master. Just a slight correction. Women were allowed to attend the gladiatorial combats.
