Bustuarii The Bustuarii ( sing . bustuarius ) were a kind of gladiator s in Ancient Rome , who fought about the " bustum " , or pile of a deceased person , in the ceremony of his obsequies . At first , the practice was to sacrifice captives on the tomb , or at the bustum of their warriors : instances of which are in Homer , at the obsequies of Patroclus , and among the Greek tragedians . Their blood was supposed to appease the infernal gods , and render them propitious to the remains of the deceased . In later ages , this custom appeared too barbarous ; and in lieu of these victims , they appointed gladiators to fight , whose blood , it was supposed , might have the same effect . According to Valerius Maximus and Florus , Marcus and Decimus , sons of Brutus , were the first , at Rome , who honored the funerals of their father with these kind of spectacles , in the year of Rome 489 . Some authors in the previous century claimed that the Romans borrowed this custom from the Etruria ns , though the evidence now points to Campania , and to a campanian influence and thus to a Greek borrowing since the Greeks settled in Campania since the eighth century BC .
