The World of the Gladiator
Susanna Shadrake
I got my copy today - very impressed! Some nice recreations and quite a bit to go through. The origins of the games are particularly interesting in my opinion. I am not quite sure how the attendents at the games were known as libitinarii however...but that is for another thread.
This book will keep me going for a while and it'll no doubt end up with as one of my reference guides. You may regret me taking an interest, Mr Shadrake!
Some of the pictures are *ahem* strangely compelling. :wink:
