Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inside the Unseen City of Ancient Rome>What you will find inside: - Vivid scenes of insulae and domus, the houses of the poor and the rich.- Close, sensory tours of baths, bakeries, workshops, and markets. - Honest portrayals of Roman slavery, work, and family life.- Archaeological snapshots from Pompeii and other excavations that bring private lives to light.This is narrative history at its most intimate, built from archaeology, primary sources, and the small human details that make the past feel immediate.
