Produktinformationen zu „Battle Elephants and Flaming Foxes (ePub)“

Why did the emperor Augustus always have a seal skin nearby?
What was the most dangerous part of a chariot race?
How could a wolf help with toothache?

Take a gallop into the Roman world of chariot horses, battle elephants and rampaging rhinos. In the ancient world a bear could be weaponised and venomous snakes could change the course of a battle at sea. If you want to know exactly how to boil a crane (and who doesn't?) or how to use eels to commit murder, the Romans have the answer. They wove animals into poetry, sacrificed them and slaughtered thousands in their arenas, while animal skins reinforced shields and ivory decorated the hilts of their swords.

From much-loved dogs to talking ravens, Battle Elephants and Flaming Foxes discovers who the Romans really were through the fascinating relationships they had with the creatures they lived and died alongside.

Autoren-Porträt von Caroline Freeman-Cuerden

Caroline Freeman-Cuerden has an undergraduate degree in Latin, a masters in Classics and Ancient History and a golden retriever. She has taught English in Brazil, Portugal and South Korea. A lifelong animal lover, she became even more interested in human relationships with animals after trying to save the lives of the two dogs who lived on her roof in South Korea (yes, the roof ). Battle Elephants and Flaming Foxes is a result of her love for both Roman history and animals. She lives in the Midlands with her husband, three children, the aforementioned golden retriever, a 17-year-old cat and her very own Roman helmet. She is also the author of Veterans' Voices: Coventry's Unsung Heroes of the Second World War.
