Swords and Sand: The Life of Gladiators in Rome
Gladiators in Rome were celebrities in the arena, but social outcasts in everyday life. Learn in this lecture what the life of a gladiator was like, how they fought and trained, and why the ancient world was so captivated with this brutal form of entertainment.
Associate Professor James Uden (Classical Studies) teaches Latin language and literature, Roman social history, and the Core Curriculum at Boston University. He is the author of The Invisible Satirist: Juvenal and Second-Century Rome (Oxford University Press, 2015).
