Martin, that's the price for the harcover edition. The paperback is 39.95 USD. You can also get it for about 30 USD from Amazon UK (plus shipping).
You can check out some excerpts from "The Roman Games" here: http://books.google.com (just make a search for the book)
Thanks for the tip on "Gladiators at Pompeii". I'll consider it for a future purchase. (waiting now for Sumner's "Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus" and I've already spent a fortune this month on books...)
