| Synopsis: |
A vibrant and lavishly illustrated portrait of a lost world, "Lives of the Romans" reveals the mightiest civilization of antiquity through the eyes of 100 of its citizens. As never before, the book gives a voice not just to Romes' most famous generals and rulers, such as Caesar and Caligula, but also to her builders and sculptors, her poets, historians, gladiators, shepherds, slaves and courtesans. Exploring every level of society and using the latest archaeological evidence as well as ancient texts, Philip Matyszak and Joanne Berry build up a picture of what it meant to be a Roman citizen. |
