Lives of the Romans

A vibrant and lavishly illustrated portrait of a lost world, Lives of the Romans reveals the mightiest civilization of antiquity through the eyes of 100 of its citizens. As never before, the book gives a voice not just to Rome''s most famous generals and rulers, such as Caesar and Caligula, but also to her builders and sculptors, her poets, historians, gladiators, shepherds, slaves and courtesans. Philip Matyszak and Joanne Berry build up a picture of what it meant to be a Roman citizen.
