Summary: ANOTHER GREAT BOOK IN THIS SERIES
Comment: This 166-page book is a wonderful addition to the What Life Was Like series. Every page is filled with beautiful photos of maps, statuary, wall paintings, and everyday objects - children's toys, soldiers gear, bath implements, coins, rings, etc. It is written for the casual reader with vivid, easy to read text. Some of the subjects briefly touched upon: the lives/reigns of Julius Caesar, Augustus and Hadrian; the lives and daily routines of everyday people; soldiers and war; gladiators and games; artisans and tradespeople, etc. Also recommended: WLWL On the Banks of the Nile (Egypt 3050-30BC).
Rating: 4
Summary: Very readable - and surprisingly good view of Life in Rome
Comment: I've been reading a lot of Roman history lately and got this book as a gift. It is very readable, and very entertaining. One of the things a most histories miss are the lives of the regular people. We all know about the Ceasars, but how did the regular people live? What was it really like? This book, with illustrations and text, tries to tell the reader - and succeeds.
