Summary

In this holiday special episode, Liv speaks to Alexandra Sills about gladiators on screen... From Spartacus to Gladiator to (Starz) Spartacus, there's a history of good and bad gladiator portrayals (and lots of half-naked Australians). Read more from Alexandra at Bad Ancient and Working Classicists. Help keep LTAMB going by subscribing to Liv's Patreon for bonus content!

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
