gladiator's
Roman warrior's possession
Gladiator's is the possessive form of gladiator, the armed fighters who battled in ancient Roman arenas for public entertainment.
The word typically modifies things associated with these combatants: a gladiator's sword, a gladiator's helmet, a gladiator's fate.
It extends to modern contexts where someone fights fiercely against opposition, whether in sports, business, or debate: She brought a gladiator's intensity to the courtroom.
