Title: Not Terrible?
Review: Well, though I'm hardly a scholar on this subject, I really expected to get a lot more out of reading this book. It showes some promise early on, but then degenerates into a sort of re-hash of what I'd consider commonly-known facts about Rome's ancient vice. The author tries WAY too hard to try to paint the various arena games of the Romans in a semi-positive light by explaining that their culture was different than the modern day western world, but he positively hammers this point again and again. Also, the last quarter of the book is nothing but trite. I really can't recommend this. Though the author is obviously an expert, and has done his homework, there's really nothing in this book that makes one want to continue turning the pages.
