The British Museum Gladiator Survival Kit (Hardcover)

A fun-packed activity kit that challenges you to take the ultimate test: to find out what it takes to survive as a Roman gladiator. Find out who the gladiators were, how they lived, and how they got through their punishing training and fitness regime in the gladiator schools. Choose what kind of gladiator you would like to be: the heavy-weight murmillo or thraex with their swords and shields? The retiarius, light and fast-moving, fighting with net, dagger and trident, or the secutor, armoured like a tank, but with limited visibility through his massive helmet?
