Roman Passions: A History of Pleasure in Imperial Rome
Laurence, Professor Ray (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia)
By the time of the emperors, the Romans had created the world's first global empire. 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 and song and sex, as both unrestrained and puritanical.
