Beasts of the Roman Games

[bruin]

Michel Pastoureau is a European Historian from France. According to him, in the book, "BEAR, History of a Fallen King", he says that he read the existing records from the actual events of the Roman Circus Games. My old friend from animal debates some years ago, "Charger1" ( a tiger enthusiast ) once posted from a site he had discovered; the records translated into English. I remember that they were not easy to read because, even though translated, the wording was unusual. I remember specifically reading about the rhinoceros and the bear fight ( which was not really a fight, but a killing ). This event and more are told of in this book. Reply
