GLADIATORS
Bloodsport of the Colosseum
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Historically accurate without being unduly lurid, this program follows gladiators through their training, choice of weapons, style of combat, and inevitable fate.
With the games as backdrop, the program provides a capsule history of Rome’s rise, glory years, and the Empire’s profound change under Constantine. Narration by David Hemmings accompanies artful reenactments, juxtaposed views of Rome then and now, and comments by archaeologists. Includes a fascinating visit to Pompeii.
Quantities are limited.
