Ancient Rome on 5 Denarii a Day by Philip Matyszak

A series of walks takes in all the sights of the eternal city, from the opulence of the imperial palace on the Palatine hill through the bustle of the Forum to the grandeur of the Pantheon and the Temple of Jupiter. The largest and most populous city in the ancient world has over one hundred spectacles to offer, including chariot races and events at the Colosseum where gladiators fight to the death. Philip Matyszak's ingenious book will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered what it would have been like to visit the greatest city of ancient times.

PHILIP 'MATY' MATYSZAK has a degree in Ancient History from Oxford University's St John's College and has been studying, teaching, and writing on the topic for over two decades. He is an expert in Classical Greece as well as Rome's Late Republic and Early Imperial periods. Maty has served in the military as a conscript in Rhodesia and with the Territorial Army in the United Kingdom. He now spends his days writing in the Monashee Mountains of Canada and teaching e-learning courses at Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education.
