Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as
vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of
Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping
their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors.
The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by
ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book, Andrew
Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the
houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights
into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived
from contemporary culture, he shows the close
interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public
and private, family and outsiders, work and
leisure.Combining archaeological evidence with Roman
texts and comparative material from other cultures,
Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did
the organization of space and the use of decoration help
to structure social encounters between owner and
visitor, man and woman, master and slave? What sort of
'households' did the inhabitants of the Roman house
form? How did the world of work relate to that of
entertainment and leisure? How widely did the luxuries
of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and
shopkeepers?Through analysis of the remains of over two
hundred houses, Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably
dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy, and
the vital part that houses came to play in defining what
it meant 'to live as a Roman.' |
