Everyday Life in Ancient Rome during the Time of Cicero

The book of the English historian Alfred Choch immerses us into the atmosphere of ancient Rome of the end of the republic. Taking as a guide of Cicero, whose biography reflected this turbulent time as well, the author leads us after him along the ups and downs of Roman life of the 1st century BC. e. We find ourselves in court, where the case of poisoning is being considered, we witness the massacre on the Appaire Road, we see how scammers bring innocent people into anything, in order to take possession of their property, observe how the official shamelessly robs the Apollo Temple, visit the villa, where In peaceful silence, a rich Roman rests from the metropolitan bustle ... And all this happens against the backdrop of the greatest events of Roman history, to which the author sometimes returns us unobtrusively. The book is read as an adventure novel - with the only difference being that the basis of everything that Alfred Cherch writes is about are documents of the era.
