«Los juegos romanos» is the historical essay by Roland Auguet, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback, with 215 pages, in Spanish.
The essay studies the role of games in Roman society: the organisation of the circus and amphitheatre, the ritual cruelty of the spectacles, the fascination they exerted on the public, and the mentality that explains their success, beyond the cliché of sadism.
Translation by Carmen Marsal; the French original was published as «Cruauté et Civilisation : Les jeux romains».
For those studying Roman society or seeking an essay on ancient history about the political and cultural function of spectacles.
