Inside Ancient Rome

What was life like in ancient times in the celebrated city of Rome? Who were the residents of the city? What kind of houses did they live in? What did they eat, wear, or do for entertainment? Ancient Rome comes alive in this look at history, culture, religion and everyday life. In these pages you will learn about myths and realities; art and architecture; shops and work; how rich and poor lived in and navigated through the city, as well as about private houses, city streets, public baths, gladiatorial fights, Roman clothes and the winding of funeral processions through the streets. Informative text, illustrations, photographs, a timeline, a glossary and a comprehensive index make this an excellent book for the curious reader and budding young historian.Stewart, David is the author of 'Inside Ancient Rome ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781592700455 and ISBN 1592700454.
