A vibrant, accessible social history of Rome, from 753 BCE to the
fall of the Empire some 1300 years later. To support its findings
the book features hundreds of translations of inscriptions and
graffiti from original authors-Roman, Greek and Jewish-and evidence
culled from the visual arts, curse tablets, official records and
letters both private and official. Each comes with detailed
commentaries, placing them into social and historical context. The
result is a fascinating survey of how Roman men, women and children
lived their lives on a daily basis taking in marriage, slavery,
gladiators, medicine, magic, religion, superstition and the occult;
sex, work and play, education, death, housing, country life and
city life. There are also chapters on domestic violence, family
pets and FGM. In short, 'When in Rome' gives a vivid description of
what the Romans really did.
