Maximus... of York: Unearthed, the skeletons of 80 gladiators slaughtered for the crowds
Slaughtered in the arena by tigers, or killed by a hammer blow from a fellow fighter, they died to entertain bloodthirsty crowds.
Such a savage spectacle is mostly associated with ancient Rome, but historians believe they have uncovered an entire cemetery of gladiators in the North of England.
The 2,000-year-old remains of almost 80 young men, mutilated by horrific injuries, were found by archaeologists as they excavated a residential area of York.

Buried: The site may be part of the world’s only well-preserved Roman gladiator cemetery
Their discovery initially baffled experts, who believed the men could have been the victims of a mass execution.
But a team of archaeologists and Waking The Dead-style forensic scientists believe they have solved the mystery.
They claim the men’s injuries - including many decapitations and an apparent tiger bite to one skeleton – suggest they were gladiators who met a bloody end.
