I've also red somewhere that Ancient Romans called brown bear "The King of the beasts" and that brown bears were victorious on the arenas against any other beast including lions. Romans were cruel people and they for sure knew the power relations between different animals much better than we know. But does Michel Pastoureau give any sources, from what Roman authors or texts he has got his information?? I would prefer to read the original Roman texts.
