Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Why did the emperor Augustus always have a seal skin nearby? What was the most dangerous part of a chariot race? How could a wolf help with toothache? Take a gallop into the Roman world of chariot horses, battle elephants and rampaging rhinos. In the ancient world a bear could be weaponised and venomous snakes could change the course of a battle at sea.

From much-loved dogs to talking ravens, Battle Elephants and Flaming Foxes discovers who the Romans were through the fascinating relationship they had with the creatures that lived and died alongside them.
