TAPA DURA. Condition: SIN DESPRECINTAR-BUEN ESTADO. CASTELLANO OSPREY PUBLISHING: EL IMPERIO IV.

Gebunden. Fester Pappeinband. Condition: Gut. Sonderausg. 144 S., 25cm, Ill. Guter Zustand. Bei etruskischen Begräbnissen wurde zur Ehre und zum Geleit der Toten Kampfspiel durch die hinterbliebenen Angehörigen veranstaltet. Aus diesem alten Bestattungsritus entwickelte sich die antike Tradition der Gladiatoren. Im römischen Reich wurden diese Berufskämpfer die Unterhalter und Stars des gemeinen Volkes. Ihre Zahl rekrutierte sich aus Kriegsgefangenen, Sklaven und anderen Unfreien. In professionellen Schulen erhielten sie Ausbildung und Unterkunft. Sie waren der Mittelpunkt der öffentlichen Schauspiele und bewunderte Helden des einfachen Volkes. Dieser Kultstatus brachte einigen wenigen Erfolgreichen Wohlstand und Einfluss bis hin zum politischen Leben, die meisten jedoch opferten in der Arena ihr Leben.
