I need to turn this paper in with the next 7 hours. It's an analysis on the movie Spartacus, and I need to answer these 6 questions:

1)Describe the life of a Roman slave.

2)Describe how the patrician class lived.

3)Describe how gladiators were trained.

4)Describe the gladiator's owners.

5)Describe the fighting methods used by both armies.

6)What was the punishment for revolting slaves?

Whoever can help the most I will give them all my e-piggies and forever be in their debt. I don't need the whole paper written out, just short answers to the questions and I'll expand on them by bloating them. Whoever helps will be my here Flatterd

I need help because I didn't watch the movie in class :/ didnt think the professor would make us write a paper on it.

Seeing as I am bored I'll see what I can do, get me some mo-e anime girl pictures to help me keep motivation.

This is what I found for question 1, it seems to be relevant and not too bloated so much with useless information you won't be needing.

i was going to say for 1 was that they lived to serve the masters that they were employed to. where they had no rights, and had no money.

2. weren't they the rich class / or the people with money?

edit: upon searching useful research sites it seems that the Patrician class was the ones who could trace their family heritage to the people who founded the city

wikipedia Wrote:The broadest, and earliest, division was between the patricians, who could trace their ancestry to one of the 100 Patriarchs at the founding of the city, and the plebeians, who could not.

but they lived better than the slaves that's for sure.

wikipedia Wrote:Patrician ancestry, however, still conferred considerable prestige, and many religious offices remained restricted to patricians.

okay so they either got poorer and such but at the time they owned nice houses. where they had slaves.

Quote:Gladiatorial training

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.

Technically these were tagged as Gladiator therefore it is not off topic.

(But they're not very cute pictures)
