ESSAY ON: Roman Gladiator Games: The Venatio

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: 8 pages in length. Animals and sports have had a long-standing love/hate relationship: For man, the benefits are more times than not skewed in his favor for conquest; for the animal, the spectacle known as entertainment is nothing more than an attempt at fighting for his life. For the Roman gladiators, animal slaughter was mere folly – a precursor to the real event: human-to-human massacre. It is interesting, however, the extent to which the Roman Government went in order to supply these events with the massive numbers of animals required, often scouring the Roman Empire and beyond as a means by which to capture and retrieve the thousands upon thousands of various species tagged for such a dreadful fate. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
