![The World of Ancient Rome: A Daily Life Encyclopedia [2 Volumes] by Ermatinger, James W.](http://www.whiterainbookhouse.com/cdn/shop/files/img_7495eef4-438a-4580-8360-ecad36b0e097.jpg?v=1687431995)
While the political history and prominent figures of Ancient Rome are well known, accounts of daily life in that time and place often remain untold. This fascinating encyclopedia explores this period from a social and cultural perspective, digging into the day-to-day activities of how Romans dressed, what they ate, how they worked, and what they did for fun.
Drawing from recent archaeological evidence, author James W. Ermatinger explores the everyday lives of Roman citizens of all levels and classes. This book is organized into ten sections: art, economics, family, fashion, food, housing, politics, recreation, religion, and science. Each section contains more than two dozen entries that illuminate such topics as slavery as a social movement; the menus of peasants, slaves, and the elite; and the science and engineering solutions that became harbingers for today's technology. The work contains a selection of primary documents as well as a bibliography of print and Internet resources.
James W. Ermatinger, PhD, is dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences and professor of history at the University of Illinois Springfield.
