The second edition of Sport and Spectacle in the Ancient World updates Donald G. Kyle's award-winning introduction to this topic, covering the Ancient Near East up to the late Roman Empire.

* Challenges traditional scholarship on sport and spectacle in the Ancient World and debunks claims that there were no sports before the ancient Greeks

* Explores the cultural exchange of Greek sport and Roman spectacle and how each culture responded to the other's entertainment

* Features a new chapter on sport and spectacle during the Late Roman Empire, including Christian opposition to pagan games and the Roman response

* Covers topics including violence, professionalism in sport, class, gender and eroticism, and the relationship of spectacle to political structures
