observer Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 No, not the Russel Crowe film, but the factual evidence presented in a CH4 prog tonight - an interesting insight into life and death in the arenas of the Roman Empire - and all unearthed in York.

Peter T Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 When you envisage the "lifestyle" of the gladiators, it makes you wonder what people have to moan about today? Interesting programme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 We've certainly never "had it so good": one bloke spent an estimated 20 years in the arena, being finally killed in his 40s - bet he's glad he never smoked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
