This article is about female Roman gladiators. For other uses, see Gladiatrix (disambiguation).
Relief of paired fighters, Amazonia and Achillea, found at Halicarnassus. Their name-forms identify them as female.
The gladiatrix (pl.: gladiatrices)[1] is the female equivalent of the gladiator of ancient Rome. Like their male counterparts, gladiatrices fought each other, or wild animals, to entertain audiences at various games and festivals. Very little is known about them. They seem to have used much the same equipment as male gladiators, but were heavily outnumbered by them, and were almost certainly considered an exotic rarity by their audiences. They seem to have been introduced during the very Late Republic and early Roman empire, and were officially banned as unseemly from 200 AD onwards. Their existence is known only through a few accounts written by members of Rome's elite, and a very small number of inscriptions.
^The singular dates to a 4th/5th century AD scoliast's reference to line 251 in Juvenal. The plural is modern. See McCullough, Anna, "Female Gladiators in the Roman Empire", in: Budin & Turfa (eds), Women in Antiquity: Real Women across the Ancient World, Routledge (2016), p. 958
