Daily Life in Ancient Rome Florence Dupont

This is a vivid and intimate account of everyday life in ancient Rome during the Republic, from the downfall of the kings in 509 ВС to the seizure of power by Augustus in 27 ВС. Drawing widely on rich contemporary sources, Florence Dupont recreates the public and private lives, rituals, actions, institutions, and religion of the Roman Republic. She shows how Roman culture and society revolved around one kind of individual, the Roman citizen, whose roles encompassed soldier, voter, estateowner, householder and slave-master, paterfamilias, priest, party-goer, farmer and city-dweller. It was citizenship, she reveals, that shaped Roman notions of space, time, human nature and the human body. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Daily Life in Ancient Rome (Florence Dupont)
