Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook Sport and Spectacle in the Ancient World by : Alison Futrell
Book excerpt: This Handbook presents innovative research on sport and spectacle in ancient Greece and Rome, exploring historical perspectives, contest forms, and civic and social aspects such as class, spaces, health, gender, and sexuality. Greek and Roman topics are interwoven to simulate contest-like tensions and complementarities between the two cultures.
