At Home in Roman Egypt by Anna Lucille Boozer
This book introduces both specialists and non-specialists to the lives of ordinary people in Roman Egypt. It explores the life course of these individuals by examining conception, childbirth, childhood, youth, adulthood, disability, religion, health, old age, death and the afterlife, among other themes.
'… a brief insight into life as was most likely experienced by a large majority of the Romano-Egyptian population … the book is beautifully written and easily accessible to everyone' Micaela Langellotti, Minerva
