Product Description
What was the tallest building in Ancient Rome? How were tesserae laid to make complicated pictures and patterned mosaics? Who could be a roman citizen?No ancient civilization has left us more art, spread over as wide an area, as that of Rome. Focusing on the beautiful remains of statues, monuments, mosaics and graves from 500 BC to AD 400, we discover how the Romans ruled themselves, the importance of the home as a display of wealth and good taste, and the brutal forms of entertainment that Romans enjoyed.
