Harry talks to me about his book which tells of the harsh life lived by gladiators, but also extends to the ideas and philosophies that defined Roman life.
This is not fiction. It's an account written using evidence from the time.

In some places in our 'civilised ' world watching men fight in a cage is still viewed as entertainment. Plus ca change.
