Live Like a Roman is a fascinating and informative journey back in
time to find out what it was really like to live in Ancient Rome
and the sprawling Roman Empire. Get ready to discover what it was
like to live in this epic era of mad, bad emperors, wealthy
senators, fearsome gladiators, loyal citizens, struggling lower
classes and enslaved workers. With its highly structured and
complicated society, life was a lavish and pampered affair for some
and a harsh, beleaguered existence for others. Find out how this
powerful civilisation invaded and conquered a massive area,
including more than 50 million people at its peak! Amazing Roman
inventions we still use today are explored along with information
on everyday jobs, city life, houses, food, transport,
entertainment, religion and medicine. An in-depth map shows the
spread of the Roman Empire at its peak, including sites of specific
interest, the main provinces and settlements, with their Latin
names, and some of the goods that were sent to Rome from all over
the Empire. Dotted through the book are craft activities and
recipes to have a go at. Find out first-hand what it's like to play
a Roman game for children, use an abacus to help with your
schoolwork or taste the unusual flavours of Roman snacks. A
fictional enslaved child pops up throughout the book describing the
sights, sounds, smells and emotions he experiences as he goes about
his daily life.
