Maggiori informazioni sul libro

From bakers and soldiers to gladiators and emperors, find out what it was like to live in one of history's biggest empires. Enjoy a Roman feast and discover delicacies of peacock, snails, and dormice. Experience dubious Roman hygiene standards - ever washed your clothes in wee or brushed your teeth with powdered mouse brains before?! And no tour of Ancient Rome would be complete without a visit to the infamous colosseum, where you'll witness the nail-biting drama of gladiator fights and hear the roar of bloodthirsty crowds. You'll march on carefully constructed Roman roads alongside one of the most powerful armies ever seen! And closer to home, bow down before the emperors - from the best and worst to the weirdest, including Caligula who gave his favourite horse 18 servants. An immersive and beautiful book, Ancient Rome is a captivating guide to life in the Roman Empire, told as the Romans might once have themselves.
