Despite the combat being very real and dangerous, the styling was fantasy in nature, with gladiators often playing "classes' modeled after other cultures Rome had defeated, fights with exotic animals from around the empire, and a variety of stages including chariot fights and even flooded arenas for naval battles.The gladiators themselves were slaves, prisoners or war captives, but those who proved successful and popular with the crowds could go on to become wealthy and famous, some continuing to fight even after they gained freedom, earning riches and gifts from wealthy and noble fans. To add to the spectacle, female gladiators began to appear, also typically from low class backgrounds. Because of the costs involved, fights were often "fixed" so popular and skilled fighters would battle weaker opponents, and referees were involved to maintain the rules, however the fate of ones life was in the hands of the crowd and the head referee.
