'A really fun idea for a book - and full of great stuff.' Greg
Jenner, Public Historian This is the perfect guide for any writer
who wants to recreate the Roman world accurately in their fiction.
It will aid any novelist, screenwriter, games designer or
re-enactor in populating their story with authentic characters and
scenes, costumes and locations. Written from a historian's
perspective, this guide pulls back the curtain to show the reader
what life in Ancient Rome was really like: what they wore, what
they ate, and how they spent their time at work, at home, at war,
and at play. Individual chapters focus on different aspects of
Romans' lives, to give you specific knowledge of what they looked
like and how they behaved, as well as a broad appreciation of what
held their civilisation together, from religion, to the economy, to
law and order. You may wish to work your way through the book from
cover to cover, or focus specifically on individual chapters as you
hone your creative writing skills. Covering the period between 200
BCE and 200 CE, A writer's guide to Ancient Rome surveys the vast
amount of sources and scholarship on the Classical world so you
don't have to! It outlines current scholarly debates and changing
interpretations, suggests further reading, and recommends
particular resources to mine for each topic. It gives you plenty to
consider while you construct your own Roman world. -- .
