Live talk webinar: Greco-Roman ball games
Greece and Rome broke new ground in organised sport, giving the world the Olympic Games and gladiatorial contests. Join us and our experts for a free one-hour webinar to find out why ball games, even though being part of everyday life, were somewhat relegated to the margins in these heroic times.
Watch experts Prof. Nigel B. Crowther (Western University, Ontario Canada) and Prof. Tony Collins (DeMonfort University, Leicester UK) talk about the role ball games played in ancient Greco-Roman times and why it is impossible to establish a link to association football.
