Description
Through the writings of classical historians, poets, and commentators, Savagery in Sandals sheds a light on the world of the gladiatorial games and the lives of Ancient Rome's most renowned gladiators.
Established in the birth of the Roman Empire, the gladiator holds an almost mythological stance in the modern understanding of Ancient Rome. In a world where life and death often hung in the balance, the games reflect the savage values, politics, and social dynamics of the period. This collection of essays and extracts takes a deeper look at the history of gladiators, from the origin of the games, the architecture of the arenas, and the rules of combat, to the extraordinary individuals who were forced to give their lives for the entertainment of the masses.
Savagery in Sandals presents a new perspective on the gladiators of the Roman Empire, from their struggles and triumphs to the enduring legacy of their barbaric profession. A perfect collection for history enthusiasts and those with an interest in the culture of ancient Rome, offering readers a chance to witness the grandeur and brutality of Rome's most infamous games.
