5.0 out of 5 stars The complete Roman circus review, December 1, 1999

gerard milewski (Cincinnati,Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Roman Circuses: Arenas for Chariot Racing (Hardcover)

This book contains more information than I ever knew could exist on the subject. Mr. Humphries has neatly organized a ton of facts about all known circuses, while focusing on the most popular, the Circus Maximus. His own excavating experience shows with his strong ability to interpret small pieces of ancient evidence that mere authors wouldn't be able to. I recommend this book as essential reading for anyone interested in the construction and evolution of these masterworks of ancient engineering. (5/5 stars)
