“Indeed, it’s not for everyone, but as you’ve noted, we’re a very militaristic society, so the gladiatorial pits and coliseums fill the publics need for such entertainment. I can assure you, it’s far better for the public to watch such events and get a little rowdy in the confines of the arenas, than for such violence to take to the streets. You should know though, many Low-Praetors enter the arenas to become gladiators willingly, knowing the risks they face, in an attempt to improve their station, as the best gain great celebrity and riches. Of course not all fighting takes place between gladiators, there are combats against fierce creatures from throughout the spheres as well...they’re definitely a sight to see.”
