They had a specific structure, usually beginning with an animal fight—either battling other animals or humans. This was followed by spectacles from chariot races and acrobats to the final gladiator battles. To enhance the excitement, there would often be trap doors and lifts to bring animals into the arena. The entire event was a thrill from start to finish.
