Leisure and Ancient Rome Book

This book provides a fascinating look at the nature & role of leisure in ancient Roman society. As leisure was central to social life & therefore an integral part of history, this highly innovative text represents a significant contribution to what has been called a more "human" history. The book examines the imperial games & the baths, as well as the forms of leisure associated with popular culture, such as gambling, the taverns, theatre, & carnivals. It illustrates how these activities, which were central to the imperial program, were also a focus of tension between social classes & between traditionalist & modern elements in Roman culture.Read More
