About the Book

English summary: Gladiatorial combat, only comparable in its allure to today's football matches, was placed firmly in the centre of Roman social life. Gladiators were moribund, they were ostracised outsiders on the one hand, but on the other hand, they were also beloved by the audience, sex symbols, or admirable role models in bravery and defiance.Junkelmann invites us to a look behind the scenes by looking at the practical problems of these Roman warriors. What did the armour and weapons of the separate genres of gladiators really look like? What did a gladiator feel when facing his opponent? Junkelmann has tried out all this - equipment and fighting techniques were reconstructed along the lines of Ancient textual sources, images, and precious original armour parts, and were then put to the test in experiments.Exciting and vivid images and a thrilling text describe origins and development of gladiatorial combat - both light and darkness of Roman spectacula. German description: Aufrecht und unbesiegbar musst Du sterben. (Seneca, Epistulae 37,2)Vergleichbar in der Anziehungskraft mit dem heutigen Fussballsport standen die Gladiatorenkampfe im Zentrum romischen Gesellschaftslebens. Gladiatoren waren Todgeweihte, geachtete Aussenseiter einerseits und Publikumslieblinge, Sexsymbole oder bewundertes Vorbild an Tapferkeit und Todesverachtung andererseits.Junkelmann lasst den Leser einen Blick hinter die Kulissen werfen, indem er sich den praktischen Problemen dieser romischen Berufskampfer zuwendet. Wie sahen die Ruestungen und Waffen der einzelnen Kampfgattungen wirklich aus' Wie fuehlte sich ein Gladiator, der seinem Feind gegenueberstand' Junkelmann hat es ausprobiert. Ausruestung und Kampftechnik wurden entlang antiker Textquellen, vielschichtiger Bildwerke und kostbarer Originalruestungen schluessig rekonstruiert und experimentell erprobt.In aufregend lebendigen Bildern und spannenden Texten schildert dieser Band Ursprung und Entwicklung der Gladiatur, Licht und Schattenseiten romischer spectacula.
