In the end harder cowhide was utilized and the thong soon turned into a weapon. The Romans even acquainted metal studs with the thongs to make the cestus which at that point prompted a more evil weapon called the myrmex ('appendage piercer').[citation needed] Fighting occasions were held at Roman Amphitheaters. The Roman type of boxing was frequently a battle until the point when demise to satisfy the observers who assembled at such occasions. In any case, particularly in later circumstances, acquired slaves and prepared battle entertainers were significant wares, and their lives were not surrendered without due thought.
