Gladiators ... this word resonates in every head as the symbol of the violence and decadence of the Roman Empire and conveys many clichés about Antiquity and its fighters. Gladiators ... What did their life look like? Why choose to fight on the arena? How did their career end, their existence...? So many questions that have found approximate answers, often unsatisfactory, fed by preconceived ideas.

Gallo-Roman France was covered with aqueducts, because the civilization of the time had a great need for water, not only for thermal baths, but also for hydraulic power. This sometimes required fetching water tens of kilometers from large cities, such as Lyon or Nîmes, for example, in order to meet their needs. There are still today many vestiges of the aqueducts, the most famous of which is the Pont du Gard, which served to supply Nîmes, with water collected more than 130 kilometers from the city. This gives an idea of the work carried out by the Gallo-Romans. The thermal baths themselves were numerous and present in every town, although few examples remain in elevation today.

One of the major changes in Roman times in Gaul was the spread of writing. If writing, contrary to a legend, is already known to the Gauls, its uses are diversified to the point of involving most areas of daily life: crafts and commerce, administration, literature, religious practices.
