That paints a pretty strong picture. I feel sorry for both animals and gladiators.
A cruel sport for sure.
Interesting thought.
Caligula employed bull fighting didn’t he?
I’m wondering if there was any association with the whole thing and the Minoans.
The bull-leaping of the Knossos frescoes fairly screams tthat, doesn’t it? :^)
OTOH, it could very well be rooted much deeper and closer than ancient Persia.

Whoa! That’s hard to believe. But there’s movies I’ve never seen myself that people quote all the time.
My brother and I exchange quotes from that movie every now and then.
Check it out sometime. It’s a hoot.
