Description
Live
Like a Roman is
a fascinating and informative journey back in time to find out what it was
really like to live in Ancient Rome and the sprawling Roman Empire. Get ready to discover what it was
like to live in this epic era of mad, bad emperors, wealthy senators, fearsome
gladiators, loyal citizens, struggling lower classes and enslaved workers. With
its highly structured and complicated society, life was a lavish and pampered
affair for some and a harsh, beleaguered existence for others. Find out how
this powerful civilisation invaded and conquered a massive area, including more
than 50 million people at its peak! Amazing Roman inventions we still use today
are explored along with information on everyday jobs, city life, houses, food,
transport, entertainment, religion and medicine. An in-depth map shows the spread of
the Roman Empire at its peak, including sites of specific interest, the main
provinces and settlements, with their Latin names, and some of the goods that
were sent to Rome from all over the Empire. Dotted through the book are craft
activities and recipes to have a go at. Find out first-hand what it's like to
play a Roman game for children, use an abacus to help with your schoolwork or
taste the unusual flavours of Roman snacks. A fictional enslaved child pops up
throughout the book describing the sights, sounds, smells and emotions he
experiences as he goes about his daily life.
