Description
English summary: They witnessed triumphal marches as well as bitter defeats: the circus installations of the Roman Empire- location of the Roman chariot races, and stations in the triumphal processions of Roman Emperors and generals. Besides amphitheatres, the circus was the most popular place of m entertainment- but also a place of political power play. What did the arenas look like, how did they work, who ran them, and how were contests organised? Here, history comes to life again: Ancient source texts, monuments, and the buildings themselves provide us with exciting information on organisers and sponsors, and shed light on how the largest m entertainment centres of that time actually worked. And quite a few details will remind the reader of today's m entertainment events. German text. German description: Sie sahen triumphale Einzuege und dramatische Niederlagen: die Circus- Anlagen des Romischen Reiches; Schauplatz der romischen Wagenrennen, Station der Triumphzuege romischer Kaiser und Feldherren.Neben den Amphitheatern war der Circus der beliebteste Ort der Menunterhaltung, aber ebenso Statte des politischen Machtkampfes. Wie sahen die Arenen aus, wie funktionierten sie, wer betrieb sie, und wie wurden Wettkampfe organisiert? Hier wird Geschichte lebendig: Antike Quellen, Denkmaler und die Bauten selbst liefern spannende Informationen zu Veranstaltern und Sponsoren, beleuchten das Geschehen in den grossten Veranstaltungsstatten ihrer Zeit. Und so manches Detail erinnert deutlich an die Menveranstaltungen von heute.
