Reviews

[Dylan Lewis]

I thought this was a good book and it was very detailed about the life's of the gladiators. It described everything you could think of in good detail and it was very easy to comprehend.

[James Sloan]

I thought this was a very interesting book. I learned that it began in 10 a.d. And also Rome was founded in 753 b.c. And they fought humans and animals.
