Both fascinating and repulsive to us now, he was in his own time a deeply controversial character, by turns hated and idealized \u2013 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?<\/p>\n<p>Brilliantly written and meticulously researched, this book tells the stories of the gladiators and those who observed them \u2013 from grand emperors to lowly slaves \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>Taking readers on an unforgettable twenty-four-hour adventure \u2013 beginning the night before the games and ending the evening after \u2013\u00a0<i>Those Who Are About To Die\u00a0<\/i>gives a blow-by-blow account of what life was really like in the brutally unforgiving arena of the ancient world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Blends extensive research with\u00a0<b>a talent for vivid storytelling<\/b>\u00a0to distil 700 years of gladiator history into the 24 hours around match day, from eve-of-fight rituals to stripping the corpses&#8217;<br \/>\n<i>The Times<\/i><br \/>\n&#8216;<b>Grippingly original<\/b>&#8216; Tom Holland,\u00a0<i>Sunday Times\u00a0<\/i>bestselling author of\u00a0<i>Dominion<\/i><br \/>\n&#8216;<b>Thrilling&#8230; every page sizzles<\/b>&#8216; Alice Loxton,\u00a0<i>Sunday Times\u00a0<\/i>bestselling author of\u00a0<i>Eighteen<\/i><br \/>\n&#8216;<b>Fascinating<\/b>&#8216; Matthew Kneale,\u00a0<i>Sunday Times\u00a0<\/i>bestselling author of\u00a0<i>Rome<\/i><\/p>\n<h3>A Day in the Life of a Gladiator<\/h3>\n<p>An Alternative History of Ancient Rome<br \/>\nBy: Harry Sidebottom<br \/>\nNarrated by: Justin Avoth<br \/>\nLength: 10 hrs and 59 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 06-11-26<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: M4B@125 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 599.98 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudfam.io\/51d55ef3782c\"><strong>Download from CloudFam<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/3ff1e59eaf42f9fa60f1805ff896495c\/A-Day-in-The-Life-of-a-Gladiator-A.m4b.html\"><strong>Download from RapidGator<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bestselling author Harry Sidebottom takes readers on a thrilling journey through a day in the life of the most iconic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35925,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[6285],"class_list":["post-35924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-history","tag-harry-sidebottom","comments-off"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
