The word gladiator probably brings a certain image to mind. But the gladiators of the Roman Empire were more than just prisoners of war or slaves who fought and died in the arena. They were the superstars of antiquity and were celebrated like today's sports stars. Naturally, they also paid close attention to their diet.
As part of an experiment on ancient gladiator life, which author Christian Eckert conducted together with the University of Regensburg, it turned out that the basic diet of gladiators was quite comparable to our modern sports nutrition. In his Gladiator Cookbook, Eckert explains in an entertaining way why this is the case and presents the nutritious diet of the Roman sports heroes in delicious recipes. The Gladiator Cookbook is perfect for fans and reenactors of antiquity, but also as a gift for anyone who wants to eat historically and athletically.
