Book excerpt: His promise of freedom was a double edged sword The rattle of chains and the bite of the whip are all Arria has known. Condemned and sold to former Gladiator, Celer Marcus, Arria is torn. Once before she’d put her heart in his hands only to have it broken. His whispers of freedom are an elusive and deadly treasure she has no hope of claiming. There are no illusions. Failing Celer, Arria will return to her former mistress - and certain death. Rudus in hand, Celer no longer spends his days training for the sands and his nights dreaming of freedom. Seeing Arria again awakens an old flame he thought long dead. Determined to win Arria’s heart, Celer must find the strength and the patience to prove his promise of freedom can be trusted. Can Arria trust her heart to her Gladiator’s Promise or will their love fall beneath the shadows of their pasts?

Book excerpt: The games comprised gladiatorial fights, staged animal hunts (venationes) and the executions of convicted criminals and prisoners of war. Besides entertaining the crowd, the games delivered a powerful message of Roman power: as a reminder of the wars in which Rome had acquired its empire, the distant regions of its far-flung empire (from where they had obtained wild beasts for the venatio), and the inevitability of Roman justice for criminals and those foreigners who had dared to challenge the empire's authority. Though we might see these games as bloodthirsty, cruel and reprehensible condemning any alien culture out of hand for a sport that offends our sensibilities smacks of cultural chauvinism. Instead one should judge an ancient sport by the standards of its contemporary cultural context. This book offers a fascinating, and fair historical appraisal of gladiatorial combat, which will bring the games alive to the reader and help them see them through the eyes of the ancient Romans. It will answer questions about gladiatorial combat such as: What were its origins? Why did it disappear? Who were gladiators? How did they become gladiators? What was there training like? How did the Romans view gladiators? How were gladiator shows produced and advertised? What were the different styles of gladiatorial fighting? Did gladiator matches have referees? Did every match end in the death of at least one gladiator? Were gladiator games mere entertainment or did they play a larger role in Roman society? What was their political significance?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the identity of Greek athletes and the place of Greek games in the Roman era to forms, functions, and venues of Roman spectacles, this second volume of Sport in the Greek and Roman Worlds contains eleven articles and chapters of enduring importance to the study of ancient Greek and Roman sport, a field located at a crucial intersection of social history, archaeology, literature, and other aspects of those cultures. The studies have been updated with addenda by the original authors, and four of the articles that were originally published in German have been translated into English here for the first time. The studies, selected for breadth and importance of historical topics, include: the economics, status, gender, and training of ancient athletes; the place of Greek athletes in the Roman era; the evolution of Roman games from Etruscan customs and of the Roman arena from earlier traditions; the monetary prices of gladiators; the role of animal games in Rome; and the Roman team sport of chariot racing. A companion first volume complements this one with studies on Greek sport in its epic, heroic, and Bronze Age origins; the ancient Olympics in its relation to religion, politics, and diversity of competitors; Greek events in track and field and equestrian events. The articles in both volumes offer an excellent starting point to inspire newcomers to the study of ancient sport, and to give students and scholars an informative set of models for present knowledge and future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the historicizing turn in Latin literary scholarship, Roman Literary Cultures combines new critical methods with traditional analysis across four hundred years of Latin literature, from mid-republican Rome in the second century BC to the Second Sophistic in the second century AD. The contributors explore Latin texts both famous and obscure, from Roman drama and Menippean satire through Latin elegies, epics, and novels to letters issued by Roman emperors and compilations of laws. Each of the essays in this volume combines close reading of Latin literary texts with historical and cultural contextualization, making the collection an accessible and engaging combination of formalist criticism and historicist exegesis that attends to the many ways in which classical Latin literature participated in ancient Roman civic debates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all aspects of Roman culture, the gladiatorial contests for which the Romans built their amphitheatres are at once the most fascinating and the most difficult for us to come to terms with. They have been seen variously as sacrifices to the gods or, at funerals, to the souls of the deceased; as a mechanism for introducing young Romans to the horrors of fighting; and as a direct substitute for warfare after the imposition of peace. In this original and authoritative study, Thomas Wiedemann argues that gladiators were part of the mythical struggle of order and civilisation against the forces of nature, barbarism and law breaking, representing the possibility of a return to new life from the point of death; that Christian Romans rejected gladiatorial games not on humanitarian grounds, but because they were a rival representation of a possible resurrection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why didn't the ancient Greeks or Romans wear pants? How did they shave? How likely were they to drink fine wine, use birth control, or survive surgery? In a series of short and humorous essays, Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants explores some of the questions about the Greeks and Romans that ancient historian Garrett Ryan has answered in the classroom and online. Unlike most books on the classical world, the focus is not on famous figures or events, but on the fascinating details of daily life. Learn the answers to: How tall were the ancient Greeks and Romans? How long did they live? What kind of pets did they have? How dangerous were their cities? Did they believe their myths? Did they believe in ghosts, monsters, and/or aliens? Did they jog or lift weights? How did they capture animals for the Colosseum? Were there secret police, spies, or assassins? What happened to the city of Rome after the Empire collapsed? Can any families trace their ancestry back to the Greeks or Romans?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fictional character is created as an example, and he is meant to demonstrate a man that runs away from his calling only to find that his chief purpose in life was to fulfill his calling, serving the Maker and trusting Him always. An immortal from 480 BC is resurrected by the Creator after an arrow pierces his heart. His job is to fight against the Prince of the Air and the principalities disguised as the mythological gods, the shadow forces, portrayers of light, and criminals. This historical fiction travels through 480 BC to 800 AD. His powers are not his own, for they are gifted from the Creator, and they will be dulled if he refuses or turns away, yet the Creator knows that he is going to make the right decision all along. Sparticus meets many, including Leonidas, Alcibiades, heroes, Alexander the Great, Spartacus, and Julius Caesar. During this compelling story, he loses his wife, his children are scattered, and his nation is torn apart. Afterward, he runs from his mission for so long that he finally decides that there is no running from a deity that created him, the world, and the entire universe. Escaping an omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent being proves to be impossible! Hence, a turning point was the capture in Rome where he witnessed much and had seen one event that illuminated his mind; thus, he submits to the grand authority to take up the cost and faces off with his predetermined path around 800 AD taking on his first villain. At the end of the day, this is a Christian hero dealing with adult issues. An imperfect man is saved by that same omnipotent deity undergoing a process where he struggles with his own selfishness before fully accepting the cost of the "Great Commission."
