The Real Ancient Rome. Myths and Truth about the Eternal City
Did Romans have the right to kill their children and wives? Did they constantly torture and starve slaves? Did they love gladiatorial games and bacchanalias? Did they bury vestal virgins alive? Did Romans always wear togas, live in luxury, and...
indulge in delicacies? The history of Ancient Rome is surrounded by many myths. What is true and how was it really? This book tells about it.
Each chapter is devoted to a common myth about Ancient Rome. The author does not aim to tell everything about Ancient Rome, since even ten volumes would not be enough for that. This is merely a slight lifting of the veil on that unimaginably complex and intriguing world that was Ancient Rome. The book is suitable for those who are completely unfamiliar with ancient history, but even those who have been interested in the topic for a long time will surely find something interesting in it.
