    Portrait of a society
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2009*

(Cleveland) This is so well written and about much more than gladiators. It is about human societies, "civilization", moral complexity, and the culture which gave contemporary America much of our language, values and laws.  Scary, and important.Here is a sample:"At its height, the Roman Empire controlled all of southern Europe, Britain, Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt, and North Aftrica. Cities were established, trade was regulated, taxes were collected. Rome built 53,000 miles of roads, bridges, aquaducts, and sewers, some ofwhich are still in use. Its laws, manners, and customs were adopted all over the empire.But for all its glory, it's difficult to ignore the fact the the Roman Empire was won by military force and built by the labor of millions of slaves. To the average Roman citizen, life was hard, war was a contant threat, and slaves were just another piece of property. And in spite of their sophistication in government, business, and the arts, Romans had a crude taste for violence and cruelty. For almost a thousand years Roman society represented both the best and the worst of human civilization."I guess I am going to spring for the hardcover so I can offer it to my children and their children and schools and friends.

    The Scale and Brutality of the Gladitorial Games is Truly Shocking
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2013*

I have enjoyed reading ancient history for many years.  In due course, I have read a lot about the gladiatorial games.  However, this is the first detailed study of gladiators that I have read.  Although I know something about this topic, I was nevertheless shocked by the scale and sheer brutality of the Roman gladiatorial games.  Richard Watkins does an admirable job of discussing the ever increasing depraved spectacles that were staged throughout the Roman Empire.  I now have a better appreciation of the out of kilter environment in which Christianity was able to embed and grow.  I thought this was a great book and I know it will shape how my ten year old son sees Roman history.  Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very basic book about gladiators.
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017*

There wasn't nearly as much info as I was hoping for.  There were a few interesting tidbits, otherwise it seemed geared to a young teen audience.  The artwork was OK.  All the faces looked like the same after awhile.
