Did the Romans have the right to kill their children and wives? Did they constantly torture and torture slaves and starve them? Adored gladiatorial fights and bacchanalia? Buried vestal priestesses in the ground alive? The Romans wore toga all the time, lived in luxury and ate delicacies? The history of ancient Rome is surrounded by many myths. Which of these is true and how was it really? This book tells. Each chapter deals with a common myth about ancient Rome. The author does not set himself the goal of telling everything about Ancient Rome, and ten volumes would not be enough for this. This is only a slightly ajar veil into the unimaginably complex and intriguing world that ancient Rome was. The book is suitable for those who are not at all familiar with ancient history, but those who have long been interested in the topic will certainly find something interesting in it.
