"This text is an engaging look at the Romans' material and cultural world. It offers students the opportunity to delve deeply into such topics as Roman laws, the job market in the Roman world, women in Roman society, agriculture in antiquity, ancient medicine, and many other aspects of daily life in ancient Rome. Shelton brings Roman social history to life in a way that will encourage the book's audience to see how this ancient society has influenced our modern world and also how life has changed over time."--Jennifer Rea, University of Florida "This text is comprehensive in its coverage of many different aspects of Roman society and culture. The selections are well chosen and provide a vivid picture of Roman life. The introductions are clear and easy to understand, and the footnotes provide essential explanations of terms and other valuable information."--Marie-Thérèse Champagne, University of West Florida "As the Romans Did doesn't shy away from highlighting how the Roman world was a place of conflicting decisions and practices. The selections are not overly long, and the footnotes are pitched at an interested general reader."--Robyn LeBlanc, University of North Carolina, Greensboro, "This text is an engaging look at the Romans' material and cultural world.
