Roman Mythology: A Traveller's Guide from Troy to Tivoli

The perfect companion to the Roman myths and the landscapes and ideas that shaped them. All roads lead to Rome, as the famous saying goes. Rome was a melting pot of peoples from across the Mediterranean and beyond, each bringing their own myths and legends of heroes and heroines, gods and goddesses. Roman myths formed the backdrop to the rituals and customs of everyday life, from the way aristocrats dressed up for a banquet to the bloodthirsty audiences thrilled to watch criminals forced to enact the roles of mythological characters.Roman MythologyRoman Mythology
