The book examines the everyday lives of Romans during the later Republic and earlier Empire, focusing particularly on aspects such as family structure, marriage, education, and social customs. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Roman domestic life, making it accessible to students of various backgrounds.  At the start of the book, Johnston introduces the purpose and intended audiences for his work, emphasizing its relevance to high school seniors, college freshmen, and advanced students navigating Roman history. The opening lays out the themes and topics the book will cover, including family dynamics, the complexities of Roman naming conventions, marriage customs, and the roles of women. By laying this groundwork, Johnston establishes a roadmap for understanding how these private aspects of life were integral to the broader historical and political context of ancient Rome.
