When Roman objects and artifacts are properly analyzed, they serve
as valuable primary sources for learning about ancient history.
This book provides the guidance and relevant historical context
students need to see relics as evidence of long-past events and
society. Artifacts from Ancient Rome is a unique social history
that explores major aspects of daily life in a long-ago era via
images of physical objects and historical information about these
items. This book also affords "hands-on training" on how to
approach primary sources. The author-a historian also trained as an
archaeologist-begins by explaining the concept of using artifacts
to understand and "see" the past and providing a primer for
effectively analyzing artifacts. Entries on the artifacts follow,
with each containing an introduction, a description of the
artifact, an explanation of its significance, and a list of further
sources of information. Readers of the book will not only gain a
composite impression of daily life in ancient Rome through the
study of artifacts from domestic life, religion, war,
transportation, entertainment, and more, but will also learn how to
best understand and analyze primary sources for learning. Presents
images of artifacts, relevant primary sources, and detailed
explanations of each item's historical context together in a single
resource, making the information conveniently accessible to both
students and general readers Provides students with the opportunity
to work with, analyze, and interpret both artifacts and primary
sources, making the book an excellent complement to curricula that
are increasing their focus on the use of primary sources of all
types Allows readers to piece together an overall impression of
Roman life and society through artifacts that range from a
legionary weapon and a medical scalpel to a wax tablet for writing,
a bread oven, and a sundial
