This classic book brings to life imperial Rome as it was during the
second century A.D., the time of Trajan and Hadrian, Marcus
Aurelius, and Commodus. It was a period marked by lavish displays
of wealth, a dazzling cultural mix, and the advent of Christianity.
The splendor and squalor of the city, the spectacles, and the day's
routines are reconstructed from an immense fund of archaeological
evidence and from vivid descriptions by ancient poets, satirists,
letter-writers, and novelists--from Petronius to Pliny the Younger.
In a new Introduction, the eminent classicist Mary Beard appraises
the book's enduring--and sometimes surprising--influence and its
value for general readers and students. She also provides an
up-to-date bibliographic essay.
