Hi,<br>
<br>
You might also like to turn your attention to the Book of Spectacles by Martial.<br>
<br>
Spectacles VI ad VIb make a sideways mention of women at the inaugral games of the Flavian Amphitheatre.<br>
<br>
I am currently writing a short essay on the subject of women gladiators that you might want to take a look at if you want. You can find it in my essays section at www.ludus.org.uk <br>
<br>
The difficulty of females gladiator information is that so little is truly known, people have to be seen to know the correct thing, simply saying we are not sure what this is does not tend to secure much corporate or otherwise funding. If you consider the length of time gladiators existed in the Republic and Empire and the area they covered we have dramatically little about them left us, then try and find detailed information about women fighters in that you can imagine the task is almost hopeless.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps in some small way.<br>
<br>
Yours<br>
<br>
