The exotic beast trade for public spectacles in the Roman provinces is fraught with gaps in the historical record concerning its organization and infrastructure. Much of the evidence regarding these aspects of the animal trade, dating from the first to third centuries AD, is purely from the benefactor's perspective. There remain several mentions of 'hunter troupes', such as the Telegenii, who provided trained beasts and bestiarii (hunters) for these local games. This indicates that there was an established network of traders who provided these services during the Roman Imperial period. However, little is known about how they functioned. This paper proposes the use of comparative techniques to comment on how these troupes captured, transported, trained and traded animals for public spectacles. This discussion will analyze other contemporary Empire-wide trade networks, like the grain and slave trades, in addition to those of other cultures that imported exotic animals. By analyzing trade networks and the subsequent challenges faced by other cultures that imported exotic beasts, it is possible to explore how the networks of the Roman beast trade functioned.

This research delves into the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in Nigerian university libraries, exploring the awareness, adoption, and potential impact of AI on library services. The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study design to capture the perspectives of reference librarians in the north-central geopolitical zone of Nigeria. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 52 reference librarians, focusing on their awareness of AI, motivators and mitigators to its use in library services, and concerns regarding its potential impact. Findings reveal that while reference librarians demonstrate a substantial awareness of AI tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini, their utilisation remains primarily for personal use rather than professional service delivery within libraries. Challenges such as training, and infrastructure mitigated the integration of AI into library operations, restricting its effectiveness in supporting students and faculty. This research underscores the need for targeted training programs and infrastructure investments to facilitate the effective adoption of AI in Nigerian university libraries. By understanding librarians' perspectives and addressing their concerns, libraries can harness the transformative potential of AI to enhance service delivery and meet the evolving needs of their clientele in the digital era.
