Life in Ancient Rome

Gary Arndt | Glassbox Media
About this episode

For over 2,000 years, stories have been passed down about the famous and infamous people from ancient Rome. 


While many of these names still are familiar to most people today, it doesn’t really tell us much about how the average person lived back then? 


What was life like for the regular person whose names didn’t make it into the history books?


Learn more about the life of the average person in ancient Rome, and how we know what we know about it, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
