Monument to Dynasty and Death

"This book tells the history of the ancient Roman Colosseum--its architecture and construction, its uses for spectator sport, and the political situation around it. The book tells the story of how this monument fits into Roman society and into imperial dynasty. Trained as both an art historian and a Roman historian, the author deploys an interdisciplinary approach to discussing the Colosseum. Elkins has written the book for a general audience and for undergraduate students."--Provided by publisher.
