Gladiatrix ReviewFor what it is, this is not a bad work. It's clearly intended as popular history, no more and no less. And on that level it succeeds. Anybody who already has more than passing knowledge of Ancient Rome would do well to skip it, however. "As seen on the Discovery Channel" sums it up - you can hear the narrative voice-over just before each commercial break: "Coming up next, the life of a gladiator was a cruel one. Could this woman found outside London have voluntarily subjected herself to it, or was she a slave captive forced to fight to entertain her captors? Find out after this word from Avon."
Strike two is the lack of photographs. So much of this book depends on the items found in the tomb of the mystery woman, yet nowhere are we shown what they look like. Whether this is the fault of the author, the editor, or the publisher is unknown, but it rankles, regardless of where the blame lies.
Strike three: the conclusion that the mystery woman was a "gladiatrix" is almost ludicrous. The evidence does not even rise to the level of probable cause; it's a scintilla at most. There was an object depicting a gladiator in her tomb. There were lots of other things in the tomb. Ergo, a gladiator! Balderdash. (And how convenient that the pelvic bones have been "lost," preventing an accurate, independent analysis of the body's gender. No, I don't blame the author, but it seems like somebody's trying to make a quick buck at the expense of an unsuspecting public.)
Three strikes, it's out.Gladiatrix Overview
