Dangerous days in the Roman Empire : a history of the terrors and the torments, the dirt, diseases and deaths suffered by our ancestors
Deary, Terry2014
Book
The Romans have long been held up as one of the first 'civilised' societies, and yet in fact they were capable of immense cruelty. Not only that, but they made the killing of humans into a sport. The spoiled emperors were the perpetrators (and sometimes the victims) of some imaginative murders. This book will include some of the violent ways to visit the Elysian Fields, i.e. death.
