Why didn't the ancient Greeks or Romans wear pants? How did they
shave? How likely were they to drink fine wine, use birth control,
or survive surgery? In a series of short and humorous essays, Naked
Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants explores some of the
questions about the Greeks and Romans that ancient historian
Garrett Ryan has answered in the classroom and online. Unlike most
books on the classical world, the focus is not on famous figures or
events, but on the fascinating details of daily life. Learn the
answers to: How tall were the ancient Greeks and Romans? How long
did they live? What kind of pets did they have? How dangerous were
their cities? Did they believe their myths? Did they believe in
ghosts, monsters, and/or aliens? Did they jog or lift weights? How
did they capture animals for the Colosseum? Were there secret
police, spies, or assassins? What happened to the city of Rome
after the Empire collapsed? Can any families trace their ancestry
back to the Greeks or Romans?
