About this book

Open Access

Public games shaped urban life in the Roman Empire up into late antiquity. This study is the first to systematically examine the legal texts pertaining to gladiator battles and animal baiting (munera), as well as athletic competitions (agones). They provide information about the measures taken by Roman emperors to maintain the games under the changing conditions of late antiquity.
