From reviews of A History of Private Life:
The new emphasis on the history of everybody has now been consecrated in [this] ambitious five-volume series...Copious illustrative materials--paintings, drawings, caricatures, and photographs, all cannily chosen and wittily captioned to display domestic life...Magnificent.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great explanation of daily life,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Roman Empire (Paperback)
The language in this book is translated very well and is easy to read. I looked everywhere for a book that described daily life in Ancient Rome without going into the girty details of war and politics. This book accomplished all that. I highly recommend "The Roman Empire".
