Athletics and Literature in the Roman Empire

Greek athletics flourished more in the Roman empire than ever before. Jason K nig offers an exciting new cultural history of the athletics of this period, setting out neglected evidence for athletic festivals and athletic education. He also explores the way in which discussion of athletics, a highly controversial subject, could become entangled in wider debates in Greek and Roman culture.
