"Entry of the Gladiators" (Czech: Vjezd gladiátorů), is a military march composed in 1897 by the Czech composer Julius FuÄík. He originally titled it "Grande Marche Chromatique," reflecting the use of chromatic scales throughout the piece, but changed the title based on his personal interest in the Roman Empire. Julius FuÄík (1872 -1916) was born in Prague, Czech Republic. He was a Czech composer and conductor of military bands. FuÄík spent most of his life as the leader of military brass bands. He became a prolific composer, with over 300 marches, polkas, and waltzes to his name. As most of his work was for military bands, he is sometimes known as the "Bohemian Sousa". Today his marches are still played as patriotic music in the Czech Republic.
