About
the Series
At its height, from 27 BCE to around 200 CE,
the Roman Empire reached all the way from Britain to Persia. It brought together
an array of European, African, and Middle Eastern peoples, forming a vibrant
multicultural society. During much of the empire’s existence, its various
ethnic and religious groups got along with remarkable tolerance and
understanding – a model that can still inspire us today. We can also be
inspired by the Romans’ tremendous achievements in the arts, architecture,
literature, law, and philosophy, just as they have inspired and influenced
people in Europe and the Americas for hundreds of years. Everyday Life in the
Roman Empire explores these achievements and the people who made them possible
– from plebeians to patricians – and tells us how they lived their
lives from day to day. Striking historical art, poems, recipes, and excerpts
from primary sources make the era come alive.
