In this episode we consider four extracts from contemporary ancient sources that talk about the very Roman experience of going to the games. Think gladiators, wild animals, the colosseum, sausage sellers... As with all our episodes, we'll focus on the sensory side of things - sight, touch, smell, sound and taste.
