Why didn't the ancient Greeks or Romans wear pants? How did they shave? How likely were they to drink fine wine, use birth control, or survive surgery?

In a series of short and humorous essays, Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants explores some of the questions about the Greeks and Romans that ancient historian Garrett Ryan has answered in the classroom and online. Unlike most books on the classical world, the focus is not on famous figures or events, but on the fascinating details of daily life.

Learn the answers to questions such as: How tall were the ancient Greeks and Romans?; how long did they live?; what kind of pets did they have?; how dangerous were their cities?; did they believe their myths?; did they believe in ghosts, monsters, and/or aliens?; did they jog or lift weights?; how did they capture animals for the Colosseum?; were there secret police, spies, or assassins?; what happened to the city of Rome after the Empire collapsed?; and can any families trace their ancestry back to the Greeks or Romans?

....De la vida Romana, Fue un libro de excepcional despliege de detalles casi desconocidos para loa amantes del conocimiento de la sociedad Romana. Cada capitulo es una inmercion a la vida cotidiana de las clases sociales de ese periodo. Aunque alguna vez grotesto y asqueante en terminos actuales, debio haber sido en aquella epoca el "Trend" y reglas a seguir de la sociead.

No es un libro de politica pero si es un libro de informacion sobre la vida que engrasaba a las partes sociales en su seno.

A mi en lo personal me encanto.

I really enjoyed this audiobook, both the writing and the performance. I found the stories incredibly fascinating and memorable, and the variety of topics covered always kept my interest. Some passages paint incredible pictures of day to day life, like the gymnasium or natural disasters chapter. Other chapters summarize centuries of history with engaging anecdotes. I really loved the military/elephant sections of this book. Great Listen!

While much of this I knew there were a few things I didn't. I knew they brought foreign animals to Rome, but how and how many I did not. And other interesting bits of interest. I do recommend. Not dry, entertaining, though the end of the book gets a little bit more history class.

Has Great new obscure facts
