Alexandra Sills is a British historian specializing in sports and spectacle across the ancient Mediterranean. Alexandra has contributed her expertise to academic journals and conferences around the world, but as she loves sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with the public most of all, Alexandra can more often be found talking about gladiators in website articles, podcast interviews, public lectures across the UK and on television.


 


Alexandra has worked as a tour guide and museum communicator for over 20 years, working in some of London’s most prestigious landmarks and creating her own bespoke walking tours of the capital, until friends convinced her to take up formal study after watching Gladiator together with a bottle of wine. Alexandra is now a graduate of Birkbeck College, University of London and the University of Leicester, and the award-winning, multidisciplinary research she conducted there forms the basis of this book.
