In this fundamental work, historian Paul Veyne analyzes the structure and functioning of society in ancient Rome. Through a detailed study ranging from legislation to the literature of authors such as Virgil and Petronius, the author examines key aspects such as the lives of slaves, the ideal of autarky, the economy, and the symbolism of power, offering a new perspective on the city of Rome as the organizing axis of the empire. Paul Veyne, honorary professor at the Collège de France and a renowned specialist in the field, manages to unravel the complexities of Roman life with exceptional academic precision.
