Chargement... Life in Ancient Rome (1961)par F. R. Cowell
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. This is a helpful, general knowledge work on many of the ordinary aspects of Roman life. In many ways, it is similar to Jerome Carcopino's Daily Life in Ancient Rome and Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome by Roy A. Adkins and Lesley Adkins. Ordinary facts of life are included such as the idea that girls would marry at age twelve, boys at fourteen (p. 60). aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The author focuses more on the Republic than on the Empire, possibly because he had more material for the former. The hand-drawn illustrations are also very helpful. (
