While we may imagine sword-wielding gladiators fighting to the death in the arena, there was another element to these games that often goes overlooked: the use of exotic animals.

Known as the most fatal pandemic ever recorded in human history, it has been estimated that between 75-200 million people died in Eurasia and North Africa.
