Secondary Title

A Fascinating Insight into Everyday Life 2000 Years Ago

Description

Citizens of Rome looks behind the calm and austere mask of empire and finds out how the ordinary Roman spend his day. Roman writers themselves often give us the most vivid accounts of what their contemporaries found moving, comic, important or unpleasant in the fashions and morals of the day. The large number of illustrations in this book were especially commissioned. These along with the photographs and text bring to life the bustling, colourful civilization that has left an indelible mark on the customs, language, laws and landscapes of the 20th century.
