Description

The empress Faustina fell in love with a gladiator. The cure, said the fortune tellers: kill him, bathe in his blood, then go to bed with your husband. Her husband was Marcus Aurelius, the philosopher emperor, and he went along with it. Nine months later came Commodus, the emperor who fought in the arena as a gladiator. Rome was gladiator-crazy: women bought gladiator sweat as face cream, epileptics drank gladiator blood fresh from the arena, and brides had their hair parted with a spear that had been in a dead gladiator.
