Also add Italian, I've read the book by Dario Battaglia.
In the meantime I finished the Spanish book, overall it is good, but some ideas are strange. The author writes lenghty about the Halicarnassos relief which I appreciate but his theories on the hairdo of the gladiatrices shown is a bit awkward. Also he mentions that the murmillo fought with a spatha!
I just started reading Garrett G. Fagan "The Lure of the Arena" which is on the social psychological aspect of the games.
