Synopsis

Roman Life in Pliny's Time is a book written by Maurice Pellison that provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the daily life and culture of ancient Rome during the time of Pliny the Younger. The book covers a wide range of topics, including social classes, religion, politics, education, entertainment, and more. Pellison draws on a variety of sources, including Pliny's own writings, to paint a vivid picture of what life was like for the average citizen of Rome during this period. The book is richly illustrated with images and diagrams that help to bring the ancient world to life. It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in ancient Roman history or culture, and provides a fascinating glimpse into a world that is both distant and familiar.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
