Abstract

Ancient Rome built a great empire throughout the Mediterranean. The "Thermae," or great baths, where people soaked in hot water and feasted while vomiting and eating, were a luxury for the haves, while the have-nots were deprived of their rights and freedoms and treated as tools. This book introduces the real life of the people who lived in such ancient Roman times, as well as the customs of the Roman Imperial Army, which expanded its prints. With easy-to-understand text and more than 300 rich illustrations, this book is sure to make you a "Roman connoisseur.
