Gladiatorial images decorated art around the empire, from mosaics4
   to household lamps. In one
  mosaic from a Roman villa in Germany, for example, one of several mosaic panels on the floor of
  the building's entrance hall depicts scenes from the arena. The illustration shows a retiarius, or
  net-and-trident5
   bearer, fighting a better-armed secutor, literally pursuer, under the watchful
  eyes of a lanista, or trainer. The artwork recreates a typical scene: the retiarius wears no armor
  except for a shoulder-piece protecting his left side. To defend himself against the dagger wielded
  by the secutor, the retiarius had to be fit enough to be able to keep moving.
 
  a. secutor c. gladiator images
  b. lanista d. retarius

Question 2

Our fascination with the gladiator is nothing compared to the Romans'. Everybody in Rome
  talked about gladiators. At Pompeii, graffiti celebrated a star of the arena that all the girls sigh
  for. Jokes poked fun at gladiators, philosophers pondered their meaning, and literature is full of
  references to them.
 
  a. gladiators c. Pompeii
  b. popularity of gladiators d. Rome
