In Roman times, gladiators were big money makers. A lannister was a guy who basically was a pimp for the gladiators. Different from a trainer of gladiators. He would usually be spotted in the prisoner camps after a war, picking out the men capable of handling a fight and sending off the rest to their vocations. An HR executive or a talent agency in modern parlance.
Julius, there is a lannister waiting for you at the court, he is here to negotiate the terms for the gladiatorial games next month
