The Remarkable Life, Death, and Afterlife of an Ordinary Roman

Beschreibung

What was life like for an ordinary Roman? In this book, Jeremy Hartnett offers a detailed view of an average Roman, an individual named Flavius Agricola. His funerary monument, adorned with a 15-line poetic epitaph and a life-sized marble image of the deceased reclining at table, takes readers to fascinating corners of everyday Roman life.
