«L'Empire des loisirs: L'Otium des Romains» is the essay by Jean-Noël Robert, published by Les Belles Lettres in paperback (336 pages, in French).
The essay studies leisure in Roman life: spectacles, walks, reading, sport, banquets and travel. The empire turned free time into a citizen's privilege; through more than a hundred texts translated from Greek and Latin, it invites readers to discover the customs of otium and the Roman art of enjoying rest.
The title belongs to the Signets Belles Lettres collection (no. 15) and was published in May 2011; Georges Vigarello appears as a contributor.
It is suitable for readers of ancient history and for those who want to approach daily life and leisure in the Roman Empire.
