Even at the furthest boundaries of the Empire, Roman cities shared a remarkable... more...

Pompeii
Profile 2010; US$ 15.98Pompeii explodes a number of myths – from the very date of the eruption, probably a few months later than usually thought; the hygiene of the baths which must have been hotbeds of germs; and the legendary number of brothels, most likely only one, to the massive death count which was probably less than ten per cent of the population.Street Life,... more...
