Mycket gott skick.
As Alan Baker re-creates ancient Rome's gladiatorial era, he brings to life such memorable personages as Spartacus, Commodus and Caligula. After depicting the daily routines of the gladiatorial training schools, he sets us ringside to witness torturous battles between bulls, bears, lions, jaguars, and battle-hardened human beings. With each scene, the games' cultural and historical context comes into greater focus - from backstage politics to death rituals to the construction of vast amphitheatres for history's most terrifying yet spellbinding pastime.
Fint skick med smärre spår av ålder och bruk. Främre nedre hörnet med liten laminatskada.
