Krátky popis
Discover the lives of the ancient Romans, pieced together from
inscriptions, discarded letters, biographies and myth over two
thousand years of history. The Roman empire witnessed a huge
diversity of human experience over its history. At its pinnacle, it
exerted its rule across Europe, Africa and the Middle East, from
Britannia to the Black Sea.In this collection of 100 lives, Philip
Matyszak and Joanne Berry give voice not only to famed rulers and
generals whose names and deeds have been enshrined in classical
texts but also to the ordinary citizens - centurions, scholars,
Christian martyrs and civil servants - who made up the fabric of
Roman society. The biographies of these individuals, whose stories
range from the happy and uneventful to the tragic and dramatic, are
pieced together from ancient art, artefacts and myths. Matyszak and
Berry illuminate the sometimes surprising exploits of Rome's women,
such as Amazonia, a sword-swinging gladiator, and Metila, a
priestess of the cult of Cymbele.Romans of every class and creed
are represented, from Faustulus, a shepherd said to have adopted
the infant Romulus and Remus, to the poet Virgil, whose words still
echo down the ages. Each of these lives forms part of a larger
picture, together making up a rich mosaic that gives us a glimpse
of what it meant to be a Roman.
