Animals for Show and Pleasure in Ancient Rome.

published in 1937.
i’m writing a paper on this, tonight, and came across a particular gem, one pretty applicable to college life:
“In the poem on hunting ascribed to Oppian, it is said that leopards were taken in Africa by drugging water-holes with wine. I have never heard of this as a way of capturing leopards, but it is sometimes used for the taking of small carnivora in the East, and, generally speaking, animals are fond of intoxicants.”
