Bulls Fighting Detail
Bullfighting is often linked to Rome, where many human-versus-animal events were held. There are also theories that it was introduced into Hispania by the Emperor Claudius, as a substitute for gladiators, when he instituted a short-lived ban on gladiatorial combat. The latter theory was supported by Robert Graves (picadors are the remnants of the warriors who wielded the javelin, but their role in the contest is now a minor one limited to "preparing" the bull for the matador.) Bullfighting spread from Spain to its Central and South American colonies, and to France in the 19th century, where it developed into a distinctive form in its own right.
