Gladiators

Gladiators analyzes the most famous munera gladiator figures and allows to know even the least famous ones through reconstruction of arms, types of combat, weapons, techniques and secrets of different warrior categories. Thanks to over 200 colour and b/w illustrations you will enter into the world of gladiators, their private lives, the most secret corners of the larger amphiteater even built by man: the Colosseum. The book will relate the origins of the complex phenomenon of death sentences or damnationes, of both ad bestias and ad gladium damnatio and the origin of hunts or venationes. It will also show how this strange, horrible and fascinating phenomenon was interpreted and even experienced by many illustrious emperors.
