Through the historical writings of classic scholars, poets, and commentators, Savagery in Sandals sheds a light on the world of the gladiatorial games and the lives of Ancient Rome's most renowned gladiators.

Established in the birth of the Roman Empire, the gladiator holds an almost mythological stance in the modern understanding of Ancient Rome. In a world where life and death often hung in the balance, the games reflect the savage values, politics, and social dynamics of the period. This collection of essays and extracts takes a deeper look at the history of gladiators, from the origin of the games, the architecture of the arenas, and the rules of combat, to the extraordinary individuals who were forced to give their lives the entertainment of the masses.
