Each double-page spread in this book looks at an important part of Roman culture and illustrates some of the significant evidence - archaeology, artefacts, arts and written sources - that enables us to reconstruct and understand their buildings, technology, jewellery and daily routine. Readers can see mosaics and models of chariot-racing and the remains of a beautiful villa, and visit the world of priests and priestesses as they sacrifice animals on the altar of Vulcan.
