Spectacles of Empire: Monsters, Martyrs, and the Book of Revelation - Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion
Christopher A. Frilingos
The author reads the Book of Revelation as a text firmly situated in the world of imperial Roman Asia Minor, where it was written. He argues that Revelation is a Christian version of that world, complete with its own gladiatorial combats and other public spectacles.
