Roman passions : a history of pleasure in Imperial Rome
Laurence, Ray, 1963-2009
Books, Manuscripts
The world of pleasure became a defining feature of the Romans & this book explores how they pursued sensual delights - from steamy bathhouses to stately country villas; the excesses of the festivals to the rich culture of music, dance & song & sex, as both unrestrained & puritanical.
