ONE OF THE ECONOMIST'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025 See ancient Rome through the eyes of a gladiatorfrom the evening before the games at the Colosseum to the evening after "A grippingly original way of making the alien world of the Roman Amphitheatre both accessible and comprehensible." Tom Holland, co-host of The Rest is HistoryWhat did a gladiator feel when he stepped out onto the sand of the Colosseum, his life in the balance?
