Resumo
In this brief work we analyze the gladiator's profession in the North of Africa, principally, in Mauritania Tingitana. We centre brief on the gladiators' fights (munera gladiatorium) and on the fights against beasts (venationes). In both cases and thanks to the analyzed documentation, we observe how the inhabitants of this North African zone contributed with the munera, good as fans, good with your human contribution to the profession. The gladiators turned into real professionals of the fight and the gladiatura into a free, slightly honourable office, but very estimated by the Roman populace.
