Episode Description
In today's episode of ThreeQuarterTime, Wilks- fresh off a West Ham FA Cup victory, takes you on a fascinating journey highlighting the deep connection between modern athletes and ancient gladiators. These gladiators were the athletes of their day, with the highly successful gladiators experiencing mass wealth and celebrity throughout the ancient world: just how athletes do today. Wilks shows that while gladiators are connected to sport in the competitive sense, they are more deeply connected in their pursuit for excellence, their day to day routines, and their ability to use their platform to enhance their legacies and earn their freedom.
