They were slaves, or people condemned "to the gladiatory" ("as the modern forced labour camps")....
A man could choose to become a gladiator, maybe to espiate a personal giult,but it wasn't a very prestigious work.
Even if he had more respect then a common slave,the gladiator risked his life everyday and in the match he could be involved in a "dead or alive" fight with one of his friends.
The gladiator myth grew up among the Roman rich women who payed a lot of money to stay a night with the stronger men of the Empire...
They as slaves didn't have no right, only after a lot of years of fightings (if they survives so long),if they became too oldd to fight or payed their dues with their owners, the owner (usually an ex-gladiator) could decide to make 'em free, so they took all the rights of a free man and they could start trade with slaves too (but the freedom came really rarely).... |

actually, in the ancien rome gladiators were prisoners that were forced to fight for their lives. The emperor could decide about the life of the death of the loser. If a gladiator became famous, sometimes he could became free, but it usually didn't happen...
hope i'd be helpful

p.s. sorry for my english, i'm Italian... |

Usually gladiators were volunteers, looking for fame in the colloseum. Others were enslaved, and forced to fight for entertainment. The slaves were actually treated quite well, except for going into battle. As for their rights, they were still slaves, and used for entertainment, so probably not many. But i'm not a history major now am i? |
