Popis

Bestselling author Harry Sidebottom takes readers on a thrilling journey through a day in the life of the most iconic figure of the ancient world: the Roman gladiator'Wonderfully panoramic endlessly informative, rich with unexpected detail but never heavy to read' Literary Review'Grippingly original'Tom Holland'Blends extensive research with a talent for vivid storytelling to distil 700 years of gladiator history into the 24 hours around match day'The Times'Harry Sidebottom manages to break out of a crowded field... a vivid portrayal of the mindscape that created these fighting entertainers'Times Literary SupplementDressed in armour and clutching a bloody sword, the Roman gladiator is the most iconic figure of the ancient world. Both fascinating and repulsive to us now, he was in his own time a deeply controversial character, by turns hated and idealized and always at the heart of Roman culture. But what did he really mean to the Romans? What did they see in the gladiator and the spectacle of the games? And what does he reveal to us today about the Roman way of life?Brilliantly written and meticulously researched, this book tells the stories of the gladiators and those who observed them from grand emperors to lowly slaves illuminating and analysing the all-consuming passion of the Roman Empire for the spectacle of mortal combat. In doing so, it reveals Roman ideas about everything from freedom and servitude to sex and desire, from courage and cowardice to death and the afterlife.Taking readers on an unforgettable twenty-four-hour adventure beginning the night before the games and ending the evening after Those Who Are About To Die gives a blow-by-blow account of what life was really like in the brutally unforgiving arena of the ancient world.
