This is a great little book about the social history of Ancient Rome. It's written in an engaging and imaginative style with a light humour and enough detail to make it a great addition to anything you might have read before about this era, but not so much detail that you get bogged down in it.
For a more academic look at ordinary Romans, try [[Invisible Romans: Prostitutes, Outlaws, Slaves, Gladiators, Ordinary Men and Women … the Romans that History Forgot]] by Robert Knapp]]. Or young readers might like [[Rotten Romans (Horrible Histories)]] by Terry Deary]].
