Beard separates fact from fiction and myth, providing a fresh and engaging view of Roman history that includes detailed illustrations and maps.

Ronald Knapp's "Invisible Romans" sheds light on the lives of ordinary people in ancient Rome, those often overlooked in traditional historical accounts. The book delves into the daily routines, social interactions, and challenges faced by the vast majority of the Roman population. Knapp uses archaeological evidence and literary sources to reconstruct the lives of these individuals, offering a more complete picture of Roman society.
