Reddit reviews Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome

This below is not specifically about those subjects, and is more like a general reference to Roman life - but it’s a great book.

I took a class in Ancient Roman History, and by far it was one of my favorite classes. The one book that was required was Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome. It covers just about everything; a fair amount of pictures, diagrams, and facts.

Chapter on Government, Military, Economy, Religion, Everyday life, Towns and Cities, Geography.

Goes into detail just enough without being super-tomey.

If you want to learn about Rome, this is the book you should try.

I'd recommend "Handbook to Life in Ancient Rome" By Leslie and Roy Adkins. Its full of diagrams and maps. Its a pretty accessible read, few topics are covered in more than a couple of paragraphs.
