    “Book Descriptions: Superfit, muscled & macho, gladiators were hero-worshipped for their skills & courage as they fought to the death, yet despised for their humble status. For over six cruel centuries, tens of thousands died in the blood soaked arenas of Rome & its colonies, watched by enthralled crowds screaming for violence. Prof. Fik Meijer has ingeniously pieced together their true stories from contemporary evidence, describing the gladiators' origins, daily life, training & the odds of their survival pitted against their legions of fans' lust for blood & spectacle.
