Thank you all for your input and suggestions.
For now I would like to focus on the Gladiators, their origins and evolution through time, so based on your opinions and the books you suggested, I'll probably go for "The World of Gladiator" by Shadrake first - reviews are good and sounds exactly like what I want. Nossov's book seems great too, so I'll keep an eye open for it, in case there's a good deal.
I had no idea that Philip Matyszak had such "funny" books. I finished reading "Chronicle of the Roman Republic: The Rulers of Ancient Rome from Romulus to Augustus" from him just 1 month ago and thought it was very informative as an introduction to this period.
Anyway, thank you for your help, I appreciate it.
