Emperors and Gladiators
Emperors and Gladiators
Author:
Wiedemann presents an original and comprehensive study of the challenging significance of gladiatorial contests to Roman culture. He demonstrates how the games were not just the result of a thirst for violence, but an important expression of the mythical struggle of order and civilisation against the forces of nature, barbarism and law-breaking.
