Reveals the Roman civilization of antiquity through the eyes of 100 of its citizens. This book presents a voice to not just Romes' most famous generals and rulers, such as Caesar and Caligula, but also to her builders and sculptors, her poets, historians, gladiators, shepherds, slaves and courtesans.

A vibrant and lavishly illustrated portrait of a lost world, "Lives of the Romans" reveals the mightiest civilization of antiquity through the eyes of 100 of its citizens. As never before, the book gives a voice not just to Romes' most famous generals and rulers, such as Caesar and Caligula, but also to her builders and sculptors, her poets, historians, gladiators, shepherds, slaves and courtesans. Exploring every level of society and using the latest archaeological evidence as well as ancient texts, Philip Matyszak and Joanne Berry build up a picture of what it meant to be a Roman citizen.

Joanne Berry teaches ancient history and archaeology at Swansea University. She is the author of The Complete Pompeii and co-author of The Lives of the Romans, both published by Thames & Hudson. Philip Matyszak has a doctorate in Roman history from St. John's College, Oxford. He is the author of numerous books on the ancient world, including the highly successful Legionary: The Roman Soldier's (Unofficial) Manual, The Greek and Roman Myths, and Ancient Magic
