Line 31:
* In [[Ben Counter]]'s ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' ''[[Grey Knights]]'' novel ''Hammer of Daemons'', Alaric and a fellow captive Grey Knight are forced in fight in [[Gladiator Games]] to celebrate the putting down of a Gladiator Revolt. The other Grey Knight dies. To [[Revenge|avenge]] [[Fire-Forged Friends|his friend]], Alaric {{spoiler|instigates another gladiator revolt as ''part'' of instigating a full blown [[Enemy Civil War]], thereby destroying an entire Khorne Daemon World and sabotaging a Black Crusade.}} Do not annoy Alaric!
* The Spartacus incident also happens in ''The Death of Kings'', the seconds of [[Conn Iggulden]]'s ''Emperor'' series. In this case, since Julius Caesar is the [[Protagonist]], it's a more upbeat ending than that of ''[[Spartacus]]''.
* In [[E. E. "Doc" Smith]]'s ''[[Lensman|Triplanetary]]'', the last significant attempt to save Roman civilization was a Gladiator
* ''[[The Hunger Games]]'', especially the third book, could be seen as a post-apocalyptic version of this, with {{spoiler|Katniss and other Hunger Games winners becoming major figures in the rebellion.}}
