About This Book

The book paints a comprehensive portrait of the Roman imperial world around the mid-first century, combining political overview with everyday experience. It explains imperial institutions, provincial organization, travel and communications, and the functioning of administration and taxation. Urban and rural life receive detailed treatment through descriptions of streets, water supply, houses, furnishings, and domestic rituals, alongside accounts of social routines for elite, middling, and lower classes. Public entertainments, religious practice, education, military service, philosophy, art, and funerary customs are surveyed, with conclusions drawn from classical authors, archaeological remains, and contemporary scholarship.
