Ancient Amphitheaters
In the course of my studies at Carleton College, I had to do a brief, shallow research project about gladiators. I was involved in a group, of which the other members produced web pages on various topics surrounding gladiatorial combat. I personally wrote the segment on amphitheaters, the large, round arenas in which gladiatorial combat took place. It is viewable here, although it is possible that you will need to log into the Carleton network.
Additionally, during the course I discovered that taking a 100-level class as a junior or senior is unwise, because the younger members of your class will be in your group, and they will remove all of the books addressing your topic from the shelves, and then they will take them and read them and write a brief, shallow account of gladiators’ social status in ancient Rome, and then they will leave them all on a random table near the back stairwell on the first floor of the library. To my younger audience, I recommend the elimination of introductory credits as soon as possible.
One other thing: It’s fine to hang around with hoboes, but only if they give you their booze.
