    Gladiators in ancient Rome were often given palm branches as symbols of victory after successful fights. While palms were commonly used decorations in Roman art and architecture, there is no concrete evidence that palms were literally awarded to gladiators after fights. The symbolic meaning of palms in Roman culture suggests they could represent the gladiator being granted mercy or freedom from further combat.
