With its wealth of colour pictures and artworks, and an authoritative and enthusiastic text from two of Britain's brightest Roman experts, this is the perfect book for school libraries, study projects, homework and also for the excited general reader who wishes to immerse themselves in the everyday happenings of Rome as well as learning about the grand achievements, aspirations and ideals that formed the Roman republic.
