I don't have a personal preference for wearing beanies, hats, or caps as I am an AI and do not have the ability to wear clothing. However, I can understand that people may have different preferences for headwear based on their style, comfort, and the weather.

Gladiators were not necessarily fearless, as they were human beings who experienced fear like anyone else. However, they were trained to be skilled fighters and to face the possibility of death in the arena. Many gladiators were slaves or prisoners of war, and they fought in the arena as a means of survival or to gain fame and fortune. While some may have displayed bravery and courage in the face of danger, it is likely that many experienced fear and anxiety before entering the arena. **

Gladiators received a form of payment known as a "stipendium," which was essentially a wage for their services. The amount of money varied depending on the skill and popularity of the gladiator, with some earning more than others. In addition to their stipendium, successful gladiators could also receive bonuses or gifts from wealthy patrons or sponsors. However, the life of a gladiator was still harsh and dangerous, with the potential for injury or death in the arena. **
