The book provides an opportunity to see the rarely portrayed other side of life of important political figures, since there is often the need of a simple and compact description of domestic life, to give more reality to the shadowy forms of their public careers.

Book Description
Walking served as an occasion for the display of power and status in ancient Rome, where great men paraded with their entourages through city streets and elite villa owners strolled with friends in private colonnades and gardens. In this book-length treatment of the culture of walking in ancient Rome, Timothy O'Sullivan explores the careful attention which Romans paid to the way they moved through their society. He employs a wide range of literary, artistic and architectural evidence to reveal the crucial role that walking played in the performance of social status, the discourse of the body and the representation of space. By examining how Roman authors depict walking, this book sheds new light on the Romans themselves - not only how they perceived themselves and their experience of the world, but also how they drew distinctions between work and play, mind and body, and Republic and Empire.

Book Description
The great Roman monuments go a long way to providing an insight into this once powerful and highly developed culture. But while we may marvel at the ingenuity of their aqueducts and viaducts, the splendour of their amphitheatres and the beauty of their mosaics and ornamentation, what do we know about the daily lives of the people who designed and built them? How did they furnish and light their houses? What did they eat and wear? What actually went on in the amphitheatres, gymnasia and baths? The authors have used the architectural achievements of the Romans as a basis for unravelling the intricacies of this society. [Back cover].
