With the way that we obsess over sports records and statistics, even in the pre-internet era, I'm sometimes confounded as to why we don't see any gladiator records, i.e. "Verus the Secutor improved his record to 47 victories and no defeats on this day in 759 AUC".
I can't imagine the Romans were any less obsessed about gladiators than we are about football (both kinds), boxing, or MMA. Any theories as to why we can't determine who the best gladiators were?
