![9781846684708: The Colosseum [Lingua inglese]](https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781846684708-it.jpg)
The Colosseum was Imperial Rome's monument to warfare. Like a cathedral of death it towered over the city and invited its citizens, 50,000 at a time, to watch murderous gladiatorial games. It is now visited by two million visitors a year (Hitler was among them). Award winning classicist, Mary Beard with Keith Hopkins, tell the story of Rome's greatest arena: how it was built; the gladiatorial and other games that were held there; the training of the gladiators; the audiences who revelled in the games, the emperors who staged them and the critics. And the strange after story - the Colosseum has been fort, store, church, and glue factory.

Recensione:
Brilliant ... arguably the best so far in Profile's excellent Wonders of the World series ... it brings the Colosseum to life in all its gory splendour. (Geographical)
A work of scholarship written with the general reader in mind ... a pleasure to read. (Spectator)
What the authors have given us in the proverbial multum in parvo (Sunday Telegraph)
Revels in the accretions of detail and myth ... first-class scholarship and an engagingly demotic style (Independent)
Stirring stuff! This is a welcome and well-written book ... it reassesses myths, politely debunks many misconceptions about what we know- and what we don't know - to put the fabulous monument in context from its founding to the present. (Lindsey Davis, author of the Falco series)
A wonderful book, worthy of its subject: horrifying, impressive, blood-soaked, occasionally very funny and always entertaining (Robert Harris)
