A Time Traveller's Guide to Ancient Rome - by one of the best historians of ancient times. Life in ancient Rome was vividly and vibrantly captured by the historians, philosophers, and poets of Rome who were fully aware of the intense and busy nature of a city that ruled the known world. Through the words of Tacitus, Seneca, Martial, and many others, including common Romans, Guy de la Bédoyère introduces the reader to a world of violent politics, political turmoil, unspeakable entertainment violence, luxury, decadence, sensuality, exotic elements, and vast inequality, experienced daily by Romans, from the super-rich elite to the humblest slaves. Populus places those who experienced Rome firsthand at the forefront of their history, from the tumultuous regional councilor Clodius Pulcher to Pliny the Elder and Hortensia who defended women's rights in court to the former slave and famous baker Eurysaces.
“An excellent combined work with humor, first-rate research, and style. Highly recommended!” - TONY ROBINSON
