Description

What was it like to live in one of the most powerful and bustling cities of the ancient world - eight times more densely populated than modern New York? What happened when a Vestal Virgin was lascivious? Why was it illegal to consult an astrologer for the emperor? Discover the true ancient Rome during a thrilling twenty-four hours by approaching the city's most important source, its people.

At every hour of the day, we meet a new character - from the emperor to the slave, from the priestess to a prostitute, a slave, a senator, a militia man. These are the ordinary citizens who bring the eternal city to life.

Philip Matyszak teaches at the Institute of Continuing Education at the University of Cambridge and is famous for his research in ancient history. He has written more than twenty books, including 24 Hours in Ancient Rome and Greek and Roman Myths.

He lives in British Columbia, Canada.
