Roman Empire: Power and People

By Susan Raikes, Belinda Crerar, Dirk Books

Although the wealth; might and organization of the Roman Empire confirmed its dominance and power in the ancient world; provincial traditions flourished and heritage was cherished in the face of overwhelming change. Through telling the stories of ordinary people and highlighting the latest international research; this exciting book explores the rich variety of traditions of the sub-cultures of the Roman Empire; revealing how the people of the Roman Empire identified themselves; but also how they were seen by others. This richly illustrated book features some of the British Museum's finest pieces from the Roman period; including sculpture from the villas of the emperors Tiberius and Hadrian; coins from the famous Hoxne treasure; beautiful jewellery and even near-perfectly preserved children's clothing.
