Requirements: .PDF reader, 6.9 MB
Overview: “Artifacts from Ancient Rome” is a unique social history that explores major aspects of daily life in a long-ago era via images of physical objects and historical information about these items. This book also affords “hands-on training” on how to approach primary sources.
The author–a historian also trained as an archaeologist–begins by explaining the concept of using artifacts to understand and “see” the past and providing a primer for effectively analyzing artifacts. Entries on the artifacts follow, with each containing an introduction, a description of the artifact, an explanation of its significance, and a list of further sources of information. Readers of the book will not only gain a composite impression of daily life in ancient Rome through the study of artifacts from domestic life, religion, war, transportation, entertainment, and more, but will also learn how to best understand and analyze primary sources for learning.
