How, for example, did the slaves, visitors, inhabitants or owners experience the same home differently? And how did owners manipulate the spaces of their homes to demonstrate control or social hierarchy?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To answer these questions, Hannah Platts draws on a diverse range of evidence and an innovative amalgamation of methodological approaches to explore multisensory experience - auditory, olfactory, tactile, gustatory and visual - in domestic environments in Rome, Pompeii and Herculaneum for the first time, from the first century BCE to the second century CE. Moving between social registers and locations, from non-elite urban dwellings to lavish country villas, each chapter takes the reader through a different type of room and offers insights into the reasons, emotions and cultural factors behind perception, recording and control of bodily senses in the home, as well as their sociological implications. \u003ci\u003eMultisensory Living in Ancient Rome\u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to all students and researchers interested in Roman daily life and domestic architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hannah Platts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350194492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350194496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Hannah Platts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978612670719,"sku":"9781350194496","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1ebee99-85ee-41e9-91f7-0f35a135010a.jpg?v=1683242333","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multisensory-living-in-ancient-rome-hannah-platts-9781350194496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
