For those that like gladiatorial armour, it looks like a new interesting book will be released in a few weeks time. What's more, it will even be in English and German!
Gladiator: Täglich den Tod vor Augen - Looking on death every day
The helmets and leg-guards from the gladiatorial barracks of Pompeii are far more than everyday armour. Their outstanding, intricate decorates gives an inkling of the glamorous context in which the bloody arena spectacles once took place. The first-class photography by the Munich-based photographer Juraj Lipták are an invitation to explore the elegance of these world-famous finds from Pompeii and to discover new facets of their decoration. For the first time, the Pompeian gladiatorial armour is here presented in its true splendour.
