Gladiators were of the lowest class in Roman society (known as 'infamii'). Though they held prestige when in the arena, they were hated and despised in day-to-day life. Proculus, as a tribune, would never had lowered his social status to become a gladiator (Corvus announces him as "champion of Rome"),or, if he was a gladiator to begin with, he never would have climbed the social ladder to become a man with considerable political authority, Either way a senator like Corvus would never have associated himself with Proculus.
