Roman daily life deepens our understanding of the ancient Roman world as it was experienced by most of its inhabitants. Our students are excited by social history. They are drawn to understand the everyday activities and interests of ordinary people. In this webinar, we will focus on 3 topics of daily life that are among the most engaging: love and sex, food and dining, and Roman baths.
