KORTE INHOUD

Translated from the French 'Cruaté et Civilization: Les Jeux Romains'. 'Mr. Auguet has written a clear and thorough account which explains the varieties of entertainment - the 'venatio', thegladiatorial combat, the chariot race, the butchery of convicts by beasts or executtiones, and so on -and describes the construction and machinery of the buildings devised for these various subtleties. It is very well illustrated with scenes, chiefly from mosaics and vases.' (R.M. OGILVIE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1975, pp.156-57).
