L. P. Wilkinson chronicles the textures of Roman daily existence — from private pleasures and social customs to philosophy, religion, and the arts — with the authority of a seasoned classicist and the accessibility of a gifted storyteller. Rather than offering a dry historical survey, the work argues that the Romans are best understood through their own words, weaving together poetry, prose, and personal testimony to bring the ancient world into sharp relief. The tone is both learned and warmly humanistic, making it an ideal companion for general readers and students of antiquity alike who wish to understand Rome not merely as an empire, but as a civilization of deeply human dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839382630619,"sku":"2026770001899-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f40eae7e-b014-4426-8334-098ae86c0dda.png?v=1780561071","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001899-secondhand-the-roman-experience","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
