The Times
*A TIMES AND ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR*
Dressed in armour and clutching a bloody sword, the Roman gladiator is the most iconic figure of the ancient worldBoth fascinating and repulsive to us now, he was in his own time a deeply controversial character, by turns hated and idealized and always at the heart of Roman culture. But what did he really mean to the Romans? What did they see in the gladiator and the spectacle of the games? And what does he reveal to us today about the Roman way of life?
Brilliantly written and meticulously researched, this book tells the stories of the gladiators and those who observed them from grand emperors to lowly slaves illuminating and analysing the all-consuming passion of the Roman Empire for the spectacle of mortal combatIn doing so, it reveals Roman ideas about everything from freedom and servitude to sex and desire, from courage and cowardice to death and the afterlife.
Taking readers on an unforgettable twenty-four-hour adventure beginning the night before the games and ending the evening after Those Who Are About To Die gives a blow-by-blow account of what life was really like in the brutally unforgiving arena of the ancient world.
