From the Publisher
The quality of a persons life in ancient Roman timesmuch like that of todaydepended largely on their livelihood. The rich patricians traditionally focused their wealth on land ownership and the less wealthy commoner did most of the farming, artisanship, trading, and construction. In this book, the occupations of ancient Romans are investigated through first hand accounts, detailed illustrations, and fact panels that focus on key figures of Roman society.
