Volte no tempo até a antiga Roma e passe um dia com as pessoas que lá viveram. Em 137 d.C., Roma está perto do apogeu de seu poder. Riqueza e prosperidade abundam no império e a cidade é um símbolo de cultura e aprendizado. Neste livro descobrimos como era um dia em Roma, passando vinte e quatro horas com as pessoas da cidade. A cada hora, conhecemos um romano diferente — de senadores a escravos, de sacerdotisas a prostitutas, de vigias a lavadeiras — e construímos uma imagem de muitas camadas do tecido social de Roma. Descubra o que acontecia se uma Virgem Vestal não era casta e por que era ilegal consultar um astrólogo a respeito do imperador — e conheça a verdadeira Roma, em um dia — recorrendo à mais importante fonte sobre a cidade: sua gente.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Ancient history has been my job and my hobby for the last 30 years. I spend a lot of time immersed in the world of antiquity, and whenever I come up a story or an idea that I would like to share with the rest of the world I write about it.

At other times, when there's some information I want, and there's no readily available book that offers this, I write that book too. Some of my students (I also teach) have never before been introduced to the ancient world. It's a fascinating place, as different as any alternative universe, but real. I always get excited by exploring there, and there's always something new to find.

At various times, I've lived on three different continents, and spent several wonderful years in Italy living right on top of the material I was writing about. I'm now in Canada with a home deep in the mountains of British Columbia, but there's a part of me that is still in Rome lurking in the shadows of the ancient forum.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um dia no Império Romano
Reviewed in Brazil on December 13, 2023

Através de diferentes pontos de vista das pessoas que em Roma viveram, o livro consegue trazer várias perspectivas para o leitor sobre como era o cotidiano e o "lifestyle" dos habitantes da cidade coração do grande império da antiguidade. Do vigia à prostituta, do mensageiro ao parasita, do gladiador à sacerdotisa: é inegável que, para essas pessoas, Roma era mais que uma cidade, mas uma cultura.
O livro possui leitura fácil, letras grandes e tem um tamanho OK. É um bom apanhado para quem se interessa por história e, principalmente, por Roma, pois o autor deixa algumas referências bibliográficas de clássicos da época (Exemplo: Plínio, o Velho), imagens dos itens os quais está falando e, dependendo, até "receitas" que eram comuns àquele tempo.

Philip Matyszak has excellent historical knowledge. And he can demonstrate this during his creative walk through the streets and places of Ancient Rome, which seems not to have been lost in the paths of time thanks to the author's brilliance. Pleasant and constructive reading, which can be read in one breath, hoping that it won't end and that the next day will soon come.

Philip Matyszak tem excelente conhecimento histórico. E pode desfilar isto durante sua criativa caminhada pelas ruas e lugares de uma Roma Antiga, que parece nāo ter se perdido nos caminhos do tempo graças ao brilhantismo do autor. Agradável e construtiva leitura, que se lê de um só fôlego, desejando-se que nāo termine e que logo venha o dia seguinte

Rico em detalhes da cultura, o autor tem uma mente brilhante, recomendo a aquisição. E, lembrando, é muito legal esse livro, ele cita: Plínio, Juvenal e entre outros, dando base no assunto do livro.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uma verdadeira radiografia do cotidiano na Roma antiga. Maravilhoso do início ao fim!

Amei a maneira como as histórias se intrelaçam para formar o cotidiano da cidade. Também amei a ideia de em cada final de história, deixar uma descrição de conceito, aparelho, prato, etc, nos aproximando mais ainda de como era o modo de vida das pessoas da cidade na época.
Há muitas receitas bem simples de fazer e experimentar um pouco dos sabores da época!
