About the author:
Over the long 30 years, the study of ancient history was the work and hobbies for Philip Matizzak, researcher, doctor of historical sciences and teacher of Cambridge University. He admits that the immersion in the life of people born over many thousands for us is akin to traveling to a fantastic world - therefore, antiquity became his real passion. And if he could not find a book in which the topic of interest was fully described, he took up the pen and scientific searches himself. So in Britain, he issued 17 books on Roman history - and one of them is before you.

For a day in the ancient city!
24 Section - every hour of a character change! "I liked the combination of fixed and non -fiction. The author uses the stories of fictional people, explaining the nuances of their life, explaining what they are doing and why, to show their world - an entire city - their eyes. In addition, the book was written unusually witty, which is rare for non -artistic literature. " - Assaph Mehr, Amazon.com
