Description
The basis for the new Peacock television series
The classic, in-depth account of the
ancient Romans8217obsession with the bloody and
brutal gladiatorial games. 8220Ifyou
can imagine a superior American sports writer
suddenly being transported back in time to
cover the ancient Roman games, you will have some
idea of the flavor and zest of Those About
to Die,8221said the Los Angeles Times about
Daniel P.nbspManix8217scentury-by- century821
2an nearly moment-by-moment8212narative of the
Roman Empire8217snational institution. Putting
the games in the context of Rome8217srise and
dramatic fall, Mannix captures all the history,
planning, and savage pageantry that went into
creating the first spectator sports. The games
began in 238 BC as nearly county fair8211lie
entertainment, with trick riding, acrobats,
trained animals, chariot racing, and athletic
events. The contests then evolved into slave
fights thanks to wealthy patricians Marcus and
Decimus Brutus, who wanted to give their father
an unforgettable funeral by reviving an old
tradition. What the brothers wrought, Rome
devoured, demanding even greater violence to
satisfy the bloodlust of the crowd. Architectural
wonders in themselves, massive arenas like Circus
Maximus and the Colosseum were built, able to
host sea battle reenactments on actual water.
Successful gladiators found fame, fortune8212an
freedom. But as Rome begin to fall in the fifth
century, so did the games, devolving into nothing
more than pointless massacres. In the end,
millions of humans and animals were sacrificed
in barbaric displays. What were once ceremonies
given in honor of gods met an inglorious
fate, yet they still captivate the imagination of
people today.
