My review: ????
Gloria Victis by Juanra Fernandez and Mateo Guerrero is set in Ancient Rome, when chariot raced by slaves would be careering around a track with hundreds of spectators all betting on who would win. Think Ben Hur!
This graphic novel has the excitement of the race, and the risks to the drivers. We also see where the horses and charioteers are trained.
If you don’t know much about Ancient Rome, then this might be an enjoyable introduction for you. You meet slaves, freemen, masters and mistresses. You can see the problems that slaves and freedmen have with those who have power over their lives.
I thought this was fast paced and enjoyable.
Gloria Victis was published in 2017, and is available on Amazon.
