The book of the outstanding French historian of the 19th century Giro Field is a unique collection of strictly thematically selected excerpts from the works of contemporary author of historians and ancient writers. Giro sought to show absolutely all aspects of the life of the Romans. He showed them on the forum and at home, in the battlefields and in friendly feasts. The reader will read that people ate in those ancient times that wore, how they worked and had fun. Briefly, but quite capacious for the first acquaintance, the religious, political and military side of ancient Roman life is described. For his book, Giro picked up the most interesting excerpts from the works of wonderful historians of antiquity: Titus Libya, Polybia, Cornelia Tacitus, Dion Cassius, Herodian, Ammian Marcellin. We hear the living voices of political figures and speakers - the Cato of the eldest and both Plinis, Cicero and Julia Caesar, Trajan and Mark Aurelius, Konstantin the Great and Julian of the apostate. The spirit of the era is also created by excerpts from ancient literature - the texts of Avla Gellia and Petronius, Avsonia and Plavt, Horace and Virgil
