Entry: The Anatomy of Cruelty Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_anatomy_of_crueltyno_man_can_create_an_animal_but_history_shows_men_ter#5291 Post contents: About those Romans and their "human fighting animals": They most certainy did treat them as heroes; that is, some Romans did, some of the time, just as some Americans admire football thugs like Michael Vick. Some gladiators became famous and wealthy,and were sought after as "romantic" partners by Roman matrons of the more adventurous sort.....and it was not unknown for free men to voluntarily go into the arena to fight as gladiators, in search of fame and wealth. The public worship of brutality is nothing new. Sent at: 2008 11 22
