Inspired by frustrated progressive´s post in another thread :
What if the Romans do not practiced the damnatio ad bestias and instead concentrate on human matches ? Of course, as some users argued- it was not the only course of extinction in case of all of these mammals. But allegedly, it contributed heavely ( validated numbers needed).
Here is a example list of animals I can think of , even im not sure they all were imported into the arenas : Barbary Lion, Atlas Bear, Syrian Elephant, North African Elephant, Aurochs (how did they caught them in the first place ?), Caucasus Tigers, Arabian Ostrichs, British bears, etc.
