Publishers Description: How did average Romans live out each year, conduct their family life, rear and educate their children What about slaves in the household How did people enjoy themselves--did they travel or go to the theater And, how were those famed gladiators trained From a wide variety of sources--writers, inscriptions, papyri, mosaics, stones, even graffiti--the answers to these question come into sharp relief. "By far the best single volume on the subject."--The Guardian.
