di Liam Wilkinson (Autore)

Historia Magna, 2025

Immerse yourself in the vibrant streets of Ancient Rome as you explore every facet of daily life in "The Roman Life in the First Century AD." From sunlit marketplaces overflowing with exotic spices and fresh produce, to the thunderous roar of chariot races in the Circus Maximus, Liam Wilkinson brings the empire's heartbeat into stunning relief. Walk alongside legionaries as they drill in sunbaked camps, witness the glittering pageantry of religious festivals, and feel the hush that falls over a crowd at the opening strains of a gladiatorial bout. Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries and the most vivid accounts of Roman writers—from Cicero's stirring orations to Seneca's Stoic reflections—this book unveils the real people behind the legends: the farmers, artisans, merchants, and slaves whose hopes and struggles shaped the world's greatest empire. Wilkinson's narrative weaves together politics, religion, social customs, and the powerful institutions that held Rome together—and sometimes tore it apart. You'll meet visionary emperors and ambitious senators, household gods and grassroots cults, bustling urban neighborhoods and tranquil country villas. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a reader seeking an epic cultural journey, "The Roman Life in the First Century AD" offers a richly detailed, page-turning portrait of an era whose influence still echoes in our modern world. Prepare to be transported to a place of marble temples, bathhouse gossip, and unyielding ambition—and discover why the story of Rome continues to captivate us all.
