The Colosseum

The Colosseum
Keith Hopkins  •  Mary Beard
ART & ARCHITECTURE •  2011 •  PAPER  • 224 PAGES

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.  (ITL654, $14.95)
