Item description from seller

170 p.: Ill., Map. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Vorsatz, sonst gut und innen sauber / binding rubbed, pencil annotation on endpaper, otherwise good and clean inside. - In Everyday Life in Ancient Rome, Lionel Casson offers a lively introduction to the society of the age. Instead of following the standard procedure of social history, he presents a series of vignettes focusing on the "ways of life" of various members of that society, from the slave to the emperor. The book opens with a description of the historical context and includes examination of topics such as the family, religion, urban and rural life, and leisure activities. This revised edition of Casson's engaging work, originally published in 1975 as The Horizon Book of Daily Life in Ancient Rome, includes two new chapters as well as full documentation of the sources. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Preface I The Times II The Family III On the Farm IV In the City V A Roman Gentleman VI The Slave VII Two Resurrected Cities VIII The Soldier IX Many Gods X Fun and Games XI On the Road XII The Engineer XIII The Emperor Appendix: Table of Roman Emperors Abbreviations Notes Index.
