The author describes the profound effect of Rome′s increasing power and wealth. Excess, luxury and greed gradually eroded the traditional values of order, thrift, honor and liberty: citizens became transformed into subjects. ′Streets flowed with precious wines and the blood of exotic wild animals and inumerable oxen,′ she writes. ′Makeshift theaters were thrown up and bedecked with gold and ivory. In a hopeless attempt to empty both its own coffers and those of the nobility, the republic endowed the city with temples, basilicas and colonnades. But the world was too rich, too vast, and Rome, at its center, choked on all its wealth.′
"Dupont′s book is filled with fascinating minutiae of the material aspects and customs of Roman life." Choice
"A fascinating study of Roman society....This translation from French is lively and enjoyable." Library Journal
"This book presents fascinating reading–material, made available in a well–written style." Mnemosyne
"The author′s often unusual approach and her striking ability to understand the Roman mind give it a unique stamp. She is very well served too by her translator whose version is remarkably fluent and graceful." Classics Ireland
