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 Cassons 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.
