Klingan Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I saw this documentary a few days ago, very well made and it seemed fairly historically correct to me. However they say the story is based on a poem by a famous poet from about 80 A.D. Does anyone know any famous poem (And poets name) from that time about a gladiator or gladiator fight? I can really recommend the documentary too for anyone who have not yet seen it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martial, Liber de Spectaculis, XXIX "The life and fate of Verus is the basis of the BBC documentary drama Colosseum - Rome's Arena of Death (2004)." -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
