well thats not entirely true Gladiators were not just slaves the were criminals, POWs, and Roman citizens who gave up there freedom to fight,in fact Roman legionarys became Gladiators as well.And Celts wern't bigger than Gladiators they were about the same height.Gladiators ate porage,barley grain,and beans to build muscle,if they wanted any dessert it was a bowl of ash.Another thing alot of Celts were Gladiators,even one of the Ceasars was a Gladiator.Gladiators did wear armor but not on their chest as it was a sign of bravery,Celts really didn't have that many weapons other than swords,axes,spears,slings,and clubs,Gladiators had many weapons all made to kill.
