Gladiators 1st–5th centuries AD
This illustrated study lifts the veil on the gladiators of ancient Rome, who provided a bloody spectacle for the people of the Eternal City and its vast empire. By the start of the Principate in 27 BC, the gladiator games were a long-standing part of the social and political life of Rome and its sprawling empire.

However, few linguists have paid attention to French song and its linguistic uses. This richly illustrated mini-dictionary about French singers fills...
