Gladiator cookbook
By Christian Eckert

Roman gladiators were not, as is often assumed, poor creatures who let themselves be slaughtered in the arena. On the contrary: some of them were superstars like today's football or tennis players. That is why a lot of attention was paid to their diet. Based on an experiment that the author conducted with students at the University of Regensburg for six months, it turned out that the basic diet of gladiators is far ahead of our modern sports nutrition. In his book, Christian Eckert explains in an entertaining way why this is so and highlights the nutritious diet of Roman sports heroes with delicious recipe suggestions.
