“This excellent book promises to be an invaluable resource
for anyone interested in the violent entertainments of the Roman
arena. Futrell’s collection of sources enables readers to see
the broader context of the games, offering a first rate collection
of material for life outside the amphitheater, as well as for
events that took place within it.”
David Potter, University of Michigan
"Futrell's main purpose is to provide interesting, unusual
material, and this she does ... Her brief explanatory notes are
insightful, learned and intended to provoke further research. Those
interested in ancient Rome will welcome this fine sourcebook ...
Highly recommended."
