Athletics and Literature in the Roman Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521070089)

Greek athletics flourished more in the Roman empire than ever before.

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.
