Bring ancient Rome to life with this engaging, ready-to-use worksheet on Roman Gladiators. Students will read a 750-word article that challenges the common view of gladiatorial games as mere entertainment, showing instead how they were tools for emperors to maintain power and reinforce social order. The article is followed by 12 multiple-choice questions (including main idea, author’s purpose, inference, vocabulary, and argument evaluation) and 5 critical reasoning short-answer questions with sample answers for teachers.

This resource is perfect for building reading comprehension, critical thinking, and historical analysis skills. It is ideal for middle and high school history or humanities classrooms and works well for independent practice, homework, or assessment. With the article, questions, and answer key all included, this is a print-and-go resource that saves you time while ensuring students are challenged with rigorous, thought-provoking content.
