TRUTH !!
While rare, female gladiators were used in the games, likely as early as the
reign of Tiberius (14 to 37 CE). This is known from an Imperial decree that
forbade certain women of status - most notably daughters and granddaughters
of nobles and senators - from fighting in the arena. Gladiatrixes - female
gladiators - were particularly popular under the reigns of Nero and
Domitian.
