In A.D. 114, you could travel from Scotland to the Sahara or from Spain to Syria and never leave the famed roads or the military protection of the Roman Empire.

Have you ever wondered what is was like to be a legionnaire in Julius Caesar's fierce army of citizen-soldiers, to march for days, to fight fearlessly with javelin and sword and never retreat?  

What was it like to dine at a lavish Roman feast or meet other senators for discussion in the famed Forum?  

With striking photographs  and fact-filled text, this book will take you back to share in the struggles and triumphs of life in classical Rome.
