If you mean that Rome deplored sacrifice. It is not true the Roman games were nothing but sacrifices to the sprite of an ancestor. Roman had nothing against sacrifice. They enjoyed seeing blood flow. A truly barbaric people, in the modern use of the word.
True, but the people around them weren't much better - the (so-called) Celts were into ritual sacrifice, the greeks for all the philosophy about the rights of man were vying with Egypt to control the slave trade, the Carthaginians were much the same as the Romans in terms of cruelty......
Although the Romans originally used games at funerals so that the dead person whose fuenral it was would receive a Gladiator as a 'spirit guide' in the afterlife, they eventually became part of the Roman psyche - if one of the condemned could die a noble death in the arena, then that was supposed to set an example to the Romans.
