Publisher's Summary
Walk a day in a Roman's sandals. What was it like to live in one of the ancient world's most powerful and bustling cities - one that was eight times more densely populated than modern-day New York?
In this entertaining and enlightening guide, best-selling historian Philip Matyszak introduces us to the people who lived and worked there. In each hour of the day, we meet a new character - from emperor to slave girl, gladiator to astrologer, medicine woman to water-clock maker - and discover the fascinating details of their daily lives.

Just excellent
Actually a well conceived and informative view of the kinds of lives lived 2000 years ago. I was initially concerned this might be some kind of young adult fiction, but it definitely isn't. Obviously written by a historian, and the narrator plays along with the playful writing in a way that pulls you into what's being described in a rather pleasing and unexpected way. Would definitely recommend this to any ancient Rome buffs looking for a topic often less explored.
