The Cambridge Companion to Ancient Rome offers thirty-one original
essays by leading historians, classicists and archaeologist on the
largest metropolis of the Roman Empire. While the Colosseum,
imperial palaces and Pantheon are famous features of the Roman
capital, Rome is addressed in this volume primarily as a city in
which many thousands of men and women were born, lived, and died.
The clearly written and succinct chapters discuss numerous issues
related to the capital of the Roman Empire: from the monuments and
the games to the food- and water supply, from policing and riots to
domestic housing, from death and disease to pagan cults and the
impact of Christianity. Richly illustrated and designed as a
readable survey accessible to all audiences, the Companion explains
ground-breaking new research against the background of current
debate and reaches a level of sophistication that will be
appreciated by the experts.
