Bizarre
The greatest history of Ceaseral carnage ever written.

FHM
Divine Carnage gives an insight into the insane lives of Caligula, Commodus (the chap who didn't get on with Russell Crowe in Gladiator) and the transvestite Heligabalus: prostitutes gives hand-jobs in the amphitheatre, men sleep with their sisters, tigers eat slaves and finally, everybody kills each other. Great stuff.

Front
Book of the Month: Worth it for the chapter on gladiators, covering the same period as the recent film, which looks like Teletubbies compared with the goring, impaling, inverted crucifixions and hallucinogens the real lot went through.
