Guía de viaje por el Imperio romano por Jerry Toner
"El Zeus de Fidias, el Faro de Alejandría y la tumba de Alejandro Magno: cosas que los turistas de la antigüedad vieron y nosotros, ay, ya no podemos", Jacinto Antón, El País 02.01.2023: https://elpais.com/cultura/2023-01-02/el-zeus-de-fidias-el-faro-de-alejandria-y-...… (mais)
Las historias de Roma suelen hablarnos tan solo de las élites dirigentes y de su cultura. Este libro, por el contrario, se refiere al pueblo romano: a la masa de 50 a 60 millones de artesanos, trabajadores, campesinos, mendigos o esclavos que formaban el 99% de la sociedad y que compartían una cultura integrada por sus estrategias de vida y por sus formas de entretenimiento, en ocasiones netamente subversivas.
mostly on political implications of elite vs. non-elite cultures, elite use of spectacle etc. to control and justify control
Excellently "translated" by Jerry Toner, though I suspect Marcus Sidonius Falx thinks more about his slaves' humanity than the average. Hilarious and heartbreaking and gutwrenching reminder of the slavery-based foundations of Rome in specific and many cultures in general, including that of the US (the country where I live).
