It has been a long understanding on my part that the Gladiators' Salute ("Ave imperator. Morituri te salutant.") was given by the gladiators before they fought.

However, I have just found this page on the About.com site:

http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/games/qt/morituritesalut.htm

Could anyone provide me with any more information on this?

Thank you.
