Who had the best plumbing system in the ancient world? At what sporting event, according to Ovid, did a Roman stand the best chance of meeting a potential spouse? Where did Romans bathe? Filled with easy-to-follow text and lots of pictures, the Eyewitness Guide to Ancient Rome answers these questions and more, explaining how this legendary civilization rose from city-state to superpower, and how men, women and children each played a role in this fascinating society.
Learn about household goods and gods, gladiators and their bloody arenas, chariot races, and Roman theatre. Learn which herbs were considered powerful healers. View examples of medical instruments, the sword of Tiberius, and the contents of a burial urn.
