Gladiator
From the high walls and cheering crowds of the Roman Coliseum to the dark dungeons where prisoners spent their last moments, Konstantin Nossov brings the world of the Roman gladiator to life. Using the latest research, he reconstructs the history of these men who battled for the entertainment of the masses, covering the evolution of gladiatorial combat, types of gladiators, their equipment, their way of life and their social status. Although most gladiators were slaves, many were able to elevate their status through victories in the arena to become as popular as today’s superstar athletes.
Fully illustrated with photographs and reconstructions, Gladiator takes an unprecedented look at an enigmatic yet persistently popular phenomenon.

Best Gladiator Book 
December 29, 2011
This book gave detailed examples of each and every type of Gladiator from various eras of The Roman Empire. My only regret is that I wished I have bought it sooner when I was working on my novel about The Romans. I could have REALLY used a book like this then instead of relying on several websites which I had to continually fact check.
