gladiator film
Roman combat movie
A gladiator film is a historical epic set in ancient Rome, typically featuring arena combat, slavery, and themes of honor and revenge.
The genre peaked in the 1950s and 60s with films like *Spartacus* and *Ben-Hur*, then revived with *Gladiator* in 2000.
We watched a gladiator film marathon over the weekend.
