Synopsis
Superfit, muscled, and macho, gladiators were hero-worshipped for their skills and courage as they fought to the death, yet despised for their humble status. For over six cruel centuries, tens of thousands died in the blood soaked arenas of Rome and its colonies, watched by enthralled crowds screaming for violence. Professor Fik Meijer has ingeniously pieced together their true stories from contemporary evidence, describing the gladiators' origins, daily life, training, and the odds of their survival pitted against their legions of fans' lust for blood and spectacle.

- 1***1 (50)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseNo poster. And book was beat up pretty bad. Not like adveritised. Torn pages and writing inside. Not like advertised. Seller was quickly responsive. But i don't feel like going through all the hassle to return it for a refund. After taking the time to read descriptions and reviews on several other copies and sellers , choosing this one and it just being junk and no poster. Screw it. Already wasted enough time on this junk. Buyer beware! NOT AS ADVERTISED!
