What was Ancient Rome like for the plebeians—ordinary citizens who did not belong to the political elite? What did they eat, what kind of houses did they live in, how did they earn a living, how did they build families and form friendships? How did they relate to the aristocracy and respond to social events? Drawing on social history and the classical tradition of classical studies, the author offers a look at the history of Rome from the perspective of ordinary citizens who largely shaped the city's vibrant character. Drawing on medieval manuscripts, ancient inscriptions, and archaeological finds, the researcher analyzes the individual destinies of Roman citizens, their social relationships, and the spaces of urban communal life. Refusing to reduce the people of that time to a single dimension of identity, the author paints a rich and colorful portrait of the Roman citizen who lived between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century CE. Nicolas Tran is a historian and professor at the University of Poitiers.
