Episode III - Gladiators!
The Colosseum and amphitheatres were a place of spectacle where an emperor could put on a show to really impress the people. Are you not entertained?! Dr Rhiannon Evans (Mediterranean Studies, La Trobe University) talks about gladiator tournaments, animal fights, executions, and the occasional reenacted naval sea battle.
