Invisible Romans

Roman history often focuses on the powerful elite, but Robert Knapp's *Invisible Romans* illuminates the lives of the empire's common citizens. Knapp meticulously unearths the experiences of laborers, housewives, slaves, soldiers, gladiators, and even outlaws. Drawing on a remarkable array of sources—from graffiti and magical texts to proverbs and the New Testament—this work reveals how ordinary Romans navigated disease, war, and oppression, striving daily to survive and shape their destinies.
