1. 1. A Day In The Life Of Ancient Rome

   Daily Life, Secrets and Curiosities

   

   A vivid, hour-by-hour tour of Rome around AD 115, following citizens from dawn to night through streets, markets, homes, baths, and arenas. Blending archaeology, literature, and anecdote, it reconstructs the sights, sounds, and routines of emperors, senators, merchants, artisans, women, and slaves, revealing customs of food, work, leisure, religion, hygiene, and entertainment. The result is an accessible, sensory portrait of a bustling metropolis at its imperial height.

2. 2. Pompeji

   

   A richly researched, vividly narrated reconstruction of life in a bustling Roman town on the eve of catastrophe, drawing on archaeology, frescoes, inscriptions and artifacts to revive the daily rhythms of its streets, shops, baths, homes and public spaces; the book traces the social fabric—from slaves and shopkeepers to elites and entertainers—while explaining the science and sequence of the 79 AD eruption that buried the city, the human stories of loss and survival, and how modern excavations have gradually revealed Pompeii’s vanished world.
