PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Hopkins and Beard, both classicists, sweep aside misconceptions, taking shots at Hollywood (and others) for perpetrating tales of gladiator-eating lions, Nero fiddling and other myths. A volume in the engaging "Wonders of the World" series, the book is a lively overview of the history of the Colosseum.
