Indeed, you can discover that in the historical recreation of gladiatorial fighting that takes place in the Roman amphitheater of Tarragona, one of those carried out during the celebration of Tarraco Viva international festival.

In Myself trip to Tarragona Last year I had the opportunity to attend this didactic show that, within the framework of the aforementioned festival, develops the Italian company Ars Dimicandi, under the denomination Munera Gladiatora.

Do not think that it is a show whose main objective is entertainment, but rather it is a cultural event whose purpose is the historical disclosure about this type of struggle, based on the latest research.

Thus, during this show in which, as was the case in the ancient Roman amphitheaters, interactivity with the audience is paramount, you discover that the decision oflifetime ordeath for the gladiator it was not indicated with the thumb of the hand.

You also learn what were the different weapons used in the fight, and the characteristics of armor, helmets and protections.

Of course in this historical outreach show, which comes to last an hour, you, as an audience, decide if the gladiator who has lost the weapon, has to pick it up or lose the fight.

Or if he who falls wounded has to to live or To die.

All this, in a very didactic and entertaining tone, and highly recommended for children.
