Circus Factions. Blues and Greens at Rome and Byzantium (Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints)

If you have an interest in the infamous circus factions of the ancient Roman world--those much-maligned proto-sports-hooligans in blue and green--this book is an absolute must-read. A volume of impressive research, heavily referenced and footnoted, this book is the ultimate source on the subject. The author reviews every primary source we have on the factions and in the process, challenges some of the most common theories associated with them. The idea that the factions comprised a sort of urban militia for the cities of the Roman East is dismissed, as is the notion that the colors had religious significance. The now-archaic marxist theory that the factions were the manifestation of the urban proletariat is completely exploded.

Instead, Cameron draws a picture of the factions as they most probably were in reality--a relatively small (1,000 or less per color) group of lunatic sports enthusiasts and theater-maniacs. Though occasionally called upon to participate in the momentous events of the day, they most often spent their time wholly wrapped up in the microcosm of the Circus. When law and order broke down, they were often the first to take advantage of the situation, but they were rarely the cause of the breakdown in the first place.

My only minor quibble with this book is its treatment of the Nika Rebellion. I was left hoping that Cameron would have had more to say about this major outbreak of factional violence which nearly resulted in the abdication of the Emperor Justinian I. While Cameron does mention it, I came away feeling that his discussion of the Rebellion was superficial compared to the in depth analysis he provides for other events.
