Common People of Ancient Rome, Studies of Roman Life and Literature

Frost Abbott Frank

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This book, like the volume on Society and Politics in Ancient Rome, deals with the life of the common people, with their language and literature, their occupations and amuse ments, and with their social, political, and eco nomic conditions. We are interested in the common people of Rome because they made the Roman Empire what it was. They car ried the Roman standards to the Euphrates and the Atlantic; they lived abroad as traders, farmers, and soldiers to hold and Romanize the provinces, or they stayed at home, work ing as carpenters, masons, or bakers, to supply the daily needs of the capital.
