by Alison Futrell (Author)
Drawing insights from archaeology and anthropology as well as Classics, this book broadens our understanding of the gladiatorial contest and its place within the highly politicised cult practice of the Roman Empire. The author explores the arena as a key social and political institution for binding Rome and its provinces.
