Story
The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination. Portrayed frequently in fine art and popular culture alike, the gladiator is both a real part of history and a legend of a romanticized past. We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?

Ramesse II, pur non essendo tanto diverso dai suoi predecessori e dai suoi successori, è l'unico sovrano egizio a cui è stato attribuito l'appellativo “il Grande” e a essere acclamato in tutti i tempi come “re dei re”. In un affascinante ritratto del faraone, Toby Wilkinson ricostruisce l'insieme dei fattori che gli valsero la gloria e la memoria eterne privilegiando due aspetti: la creazione attenta e quasi ossessiva della propria immagine in una continua opera di propaganda e autopromozione.

The past, the present, and the future exist within a harmonious, reliable, and never-changing system. Or at least that’s how it seems… It was Albert Einstein who, in 1905, first theorized that time might not be quite as straightforward as that.

Alexander's siege of 332 BC was one of the most remarkable events in the classical world. The Siege of Tyre is the first book-length treatment of this critical and fascinating campaign

Charles Hapgood's classic 1966 book on ancient maps is back. Hapgood produces concrete evidence of an advanced worldwide civilization existing many thousands of years before ancient Egypt. He has found the evidence in many beautiful maps long known to scholars, the Piri Reis Map that shows Antarctica, the Hadji Ahmed map, the Oronteus Finaeus and other amazing maps. Hapgood concluded that these maps were made from more ancient maps from the various ancient archives around the world, now lost.
