1937017276Manchester University Press 1937. Illustrated with eight plates octavo pp xiv 209 endpapers slightly marked otherwise very clean internally red cloth slightly dull and very slightly worn in a dustwrapper which is slightly worn frayed and age-toned. Deadly combat between gladiators is perhaps the best-known example of public entertainment offered in the Roman world. Wild and domesticated animals were also a part of these extravagant shows and the elaborate presentationor sometimes butcheryof creatures to gild an official's magnificence was among the most common forms of public diversion. Pitting bulls against bears lions against Christians and criminals elephants against rhinoceroses or parading large numbers of giraffe or zebras the games devised by the Romans ranged from astonishing to brutally cruel. It is now difficult to comprehend the pleasure that huge crowds took from the death or struggle of animals and people but the history of the role of animals in ancient Rome is both fascinating and important in view of modern sports spectacles and the enjoyment we take in animals in our daily lives. Based entirely on primary source material and infused with the author's direct experience with many of the animals discussed Animals for Show and Pleasure in Ancient Rome is a comprehensive investigation of the rise function and pageantry of wild and domesticated animals as household pets and as fodder for entertainment in the Roman world. Extending from Egypt through the Greek city-states to the magnificent coliseums of the golden age of Roman civilization Jennison provides an absorbing evocative and in-depth history that includes information about what animals were known to the Romans which creatures they liked best which animals were used as pets from what places they obtained animals and how much they cost how they were trapped and the architectural development and dispersion of arenas throughout the Roman world. The authoritative work on the subject. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Slightly Worn. Manchester University Press Hardcover
