Very Thorough, Easy to Read, all Encompassing

Probably the best and most enjoyable book I've read on the culture (cultivatis) of Rome. Covers Roman Clothing, Houses,War, everything. I could not put this book down.Absolutely loved it and will purchase it. Dupont does an excellent job in her details and research. Esoteric issues such as homosexuality are touched upon lightly but nonethelessinformative. Highly recommend!
