Ludovicus Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) For those of us interested in the fauna of ancient Greece and Rome here's an interesting article on the species of lions the ancients would have been familiar with. Seems that the lion preferred by the Romans for spectacles in the arena was the Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo). http://www.pothos.org/alexander.asp?paraID...amp;title=Lions Edited September 5, 2006 by Ludovicus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
