(Mayukh Saha) According to a study conducted by the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, it was found out that gladiators had a vegetarian diet. This comes to light after the excavation of bones in the cemetery where these fighters were cremated.

Their diet mostly included grains and had a distinct lack of meat. They also consumed a drink that was primarily made out of the ashes of plants. The drink was supposedly used as a health supplement to help them recover from injuries after fights.

Fabian Kanz from the Medical University of Vienna mentions that the plant supplement was extremely useful to enhance muscle and bone recovery after exerting oneself in physical combat and strenuous exercise.

The present equivalent would be calcium and magnesium pills, which we take post-exertion, as effervescent tablets. The experts came to the conclusion about this tonic after studying the high strontium levels in the bodies of the gladiators. This study from 2014 was conducted in Ephesus, a Turkish town that was once under the Roman empire. The grave had 22 bodies of gladiators, dating 1800 years back.

Interestingly, gladiators have always been referred to as ‘barley men’, which sheds light on the diet that they had. Since the diet that the gladiators had consisted of wheat, barley, and grains- the name is warranted.

But there are anomalies in the study itself. Bones of two gladiators have been found which had a much higher content of protein and dairy products. These bone structures also had a distinct lack of pulses and other cereals in them.

This could be a signal that some gladiators were from a different part of the Roman Empire, which was spread out far and wide. The next point of contention would be analyzing the bones to see if a geographical location could be determined.

Also, there have been multiple debates regarding who constituted the gladiators. While conquered people, slaves, and registered offenders fit the bill, there were many other enthusiasts who trained with the gladiators and lived the same life. It has been calculated that every time a gladiator walked into the colosseum to fight, he carried with him a one in nine chance of dying.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.
