| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "A day in old Rome : a picture of Roman life" by William Stearns Davis is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It offers a guided, daylong portrait of everyday life in Imperial Rome, centering on the city and its people during Hadrian’s era. Drawing on Latin authors and modern scholarship, it recreates streets, homes, customs, institutions, entertainments, and beliefs to show how Romans of many ranks actually lived. The opening of the book lays out the premise: a hypothetical visit to Rome in the second century, chosen for its prosperity under Hadrian and for the city’s near-complete architectural form. The preface explains the method, sources, and focus on urban life rather than the emperor, and the contents map a comprehensive tour. The first chapters sketch Rome’s setting and look—its geography, the Tiber, the Seven Hills, and the city’s materials and methods (tufa, travertine, marble, and especially concrete), as well as Roman adaptations of Greek forms with arches, vaults, and triumphal architecture. The narrative then drops into a typical street near the Esquiline to observe narrow lanes, stepping stones, shops, shrines, and fountains; the mixed crowds and constant Greek alongside Latin; the bustle, noise, and public processions; wall notices and graffiti; and the dangers and discomforts of night. Finally, it turns to housing: the prevalence of multi-story insulae versus the few domus mansions, building codes and risks, a sample tenement’s layout and rents, the plight of attic tenants and moving day, and the mitigations of urban poverty—ending just as the account prepares to contrast this with a senatorial home.
