| Synopsis: |
"Roman Life: 100 B.C. to A.D. 200" vividly re-creates the lives of people in ancient Rome, from 100 B.C. to A.D. 200. Lavishly illustrated, with many photos made especially for this book, it covers religion, work, public entertainment, tavern life, Roman baths, life in the military, banqueting, funerals and more. The lives of ordinary citizens, of slaves and freedmen and women are presented in individual vignettes usually featuring people who actually lived there. A special feature is the interactive CD-ROM, which is a virtual exploration of the House of the Vetii, Pompeii's most popular tourist attraction. No other book brings ancient Romans to life so well in terms that twenty-first century readers can understand. |
