Those who forget history

I read an article like this and I frankly wonder what in heck they are teaching in schools these days. It certainly isn't history.

The article implies that it is some kind of revelation that gladiators had a strict code of conduct. Although the forensic proof is interesting, it only confirms what was already well known and documented. But one would have to have actually read and understood some history to be aware of facts, I guess.

The real tour-de-force of ignorance in this article is the caption of the picture. It describes the individuals shown as being dressed as gladiators.

They are dressed as Roman Legionaries.
