Summary: Misleading title--covers a lot more than is suggested.
Comment: This book does NOT focus solely on the Roman Empire, but rather covers such subjects as "A Celtic Farmer", "A Roman Villa", "Vindolanda: the frontier" and "Roman Town Life" as well as subjects some would consider to be of the Early Middle Ages, rather than the Dark Ages: the "Anglo-Saxons", "Byzantium", "The Arabs in Europe" (very nice!), "the Vikings", "Castle and Manor House", "Monastic life" (including a Knights Templar estate) and a medieval town. Keep in mind that this is a picture book, not a college textbook. Gives short but interesting overviews of each era listed. LOTS of nice color drawings, quite a lot of interesting details. Overall, I found it a terrific book, with lots of nice illustrations covering daily life in the periods covered. I recommend the book highly.
