Barbarian is someone who does not speak latin. So I'm assuming your a barbarian. And this makes little sense as Romans are in fact the only people to ever have gladiators.

"Buut! greeks!" No, just no. Greeks never had gladiators and there is little chance they even had chariot races.

Gladiatorial combat was for the wealthy, they sit and watch people kill eachother because they thought they were better. In most 'barbaric' countries the wealthy knew they were not better than their subjects. In fact Germanic rule in my opinion was much better than Roman rule. Most of their rulers didn't care for commoners but Germanic rulers were very, Eqaul? I suppose. They knew that they depended on commoners, in fact if a ruler treated his subjects like romans did he would probably be overthrown. Germanics were very very respectful of freedom, even the womenfolk's freedom. Slaves had it very well also, they were not overworked to death. And often times slaves were set free and turned to free men.

So overall no 'Barbaric' faction would do that, they respected each others freedom and would never force a fight upon someone. Orcs would not have a organized well run fight club. Their fights were simple brawls between arguing groups. I think he meant Barbarian in today’s context, as in a wild, uncivilized person. I agree with everything you said though.
