The Colosseum | Keith Hopkins

Pickpick

This was such an interesting read, dealing with the origins of the colosseum, it‘s uses, the famous gladiator events, even touching on the morals and ethics surrounding such a horrific and brutal sport.

Enjoyable if you are after a little slice of history with a little bit of humour and nostalgia thrown in!

VeganCleopatra There was humor thrown in? 4y
LostInSpace @VeganCleopatra all of Mary Beards writing has some sort of humour in it, I guess it‘s kinda dark humour but I like her writing style, she brings history to life 🙂 4y
VeganCleopatra Huh. I don't recall thinking she was humorous before and I've read a few. I actually like dark humor too. Now I wonder if I missed. 🤔 Have you read SPQR? That was my most recent Beard book and I found it pretty terrible and badly in need of an editor. I may have been too irritated to notice subtle humor. 😏 4y
