Living in ancient Rome was superbly and vividly recorded by Rome's historians, philosophers, and poets who were acutely aware of the seething and voluptuous nature of a city that ruled the known world. Through the words of Tacitus, Seneca, Martial, and a host of others including ordinary Romans, Guy de la Bédoyère takes the reader into a world of violent politics, civil disorder, unspeakably brutal entertainments, extravagance, decadence, eroticism, exotica, and staggering inequality, participated in daily by the Roman people from the hyper-rich elite to the lowliest slaves. Populus places those who experienced Rome in person at the forefront of their story, from the rabble-rousing senator Clodius Pulcher to Pliny the Elder and Hortensia who defended the rights of women in court to the ex-slave and celebrity baker Eurysaces.
'A superb combination of wit, first-rate research and panache. Highly recommended!' TONY ROBINSON

Reseñas de la crítica
A superb combination of wit, first-rate research and panache. Highly recommended!
[A] rollicking new book... Drawing on letters, inscriptions, plays, poems, architecture, coinage and the preserved contents of Herculaneum's sewers, de la Bédoyère sets out to reconstruct how people of all stations lived... De la Bédoyère's command of these disparate sources is masterful, and his curation of them forms the backbone of the book (Honor Cargill-Martin)
A comprehensive and very well referenced appraisal of city life... Where the archaeological record in Rome is patchy, he extrapolates on how life must have been from discoveries at sites such as Pompeii and Ostia as well as the vast written evidence, including letters and inscriptions
De la Bédoyère paints a vibrant picture, giving readers a lively and immersive look at life in this legendary ancient city
Providing considerable detail in an easygoing style, this brings to pulsing life the average Roman's daily existence. Roman history buffs will be thrilled
Populus draws on such archives of the quotidian to make ancient Rome seem both wonderfully weird and convincingly real. . . . With his wide array of sources, his eye for compelling details and his engaging prose style, de la Bédoyère keeps the reader eager for more-and wondering what strange facet of Roman life will be served up next
