Thank you, I stand corrected. Now that I think on it, Vespasian was their father...

heh, while we're taking history notes:
"Titus put Jerusalem to the torch and a very large number of its inhabitants to the gladius."
in latin, the word gladius has two meanings. one slang: "sword" and the other literal: "penis"
gladiators were seen as sex symbols as well as fighters, and were named after the literal meaning.
