· Explores the cultural exchange of Greek sport and Roman spectacle and how each culture responded to the other’s entertainment

· Covers topics including violence, professionalism in sport, class, gender and eroticism, and the relationship of spectacle to political structures

This is without a doubt the single best overview of ancient sport. Donald Kyle delivers a clear, lively, and detailed account that reflects his unmatched erudition and insight. – Paul Christesen, Department of Classics, Dartmouth College
"Kyle furnishes a sophisticated and lucid account of sport and spectacle as important cultural phenomena in antiquity. Especially insightful is his treatment of both Greek and Roman sport as spectacle. Most welcome too are the relevant parallels and significant differences he observes between ancient and modern athletics." – Hugh Lee, Emeritus Professor of Classics, University of Maryland, College Park
An excellent, wide–ranging survey of ancient sport. No other introductory volume combines the study of Greek and Roman sport and spectacle so effectively. This second edition adds a wealth of new material to the original version. – Jason König, School of Classics, University of St Andrews
