Quote:Carcopino’s pledge to his readers was to open up to them some traces of the world that lay underneath the veneer of grandeur that remains the public face of ancient Rome; to put before our eyes the scoundrels in the street-corner bar, the cooks in the kitchen, the man who stoked the boilers in the baths. No one has ever done it better.

Quote:... Maybe you can integrate in the list. Thanks in advance...
