  A man treats a graphic wound on his body, which we see up close and for several seconds.

  Although most of the violence in this movie is quite brief, it is still pretty graphic and highly realistic.

  The first arena battle includes a spiked ball on a chain getting smashed into someone's face. It is very brief, but there is a large blood spurt. This is by far the most violent scene in the movie.

  This movie contains many battle scenes and gore.

  Gladiater comes home to his wife and child hanging. We only see the feet. Teaser says his son cried like girl.

  Multiple scenes showing bloody violence, much of it in brief shots.

  There is a rather bloody battle near the beginning (as well as a couple other shorter ones), and a few bloody arena battles.

  Men are killed with blows and dull objects, and stabbed with swords, knives, and spears (often with brief blood).

  There are a few brief instances of dismemberment and couple of decapitation, we usually see a flash of red. An opponent is also cut in half by blades on a chariot's wheel during combat; violent, but brief.
