<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Classicists have long wondered what everyday life was like in ancient Greece and Rome. How, for example, did the slaves, visitors, inhabitants or owners experience the same home differently? And how did owners manipulate the spaces of their homes to demonstrate control or social hierarchy? <p/> To answer these questions, Hannah Platts draws on a diverse range of evidence and an innovative amalgamation of methodological approaches to explore multisensory experience - auditory, olfactory, tactile, gustatory and visual - in domestic environments in Rome, Pompeii and Herculaneum for the first time, from the first century BCE to the second century CE. Moving between social registers and locations, from non-elite urban dwellings to lavish country villas, each chapter takes the reader through a different type of room and offers insights into the reasons, emotions and cultural factors behind perception, recording and control of bodily senses in the home, as well as their sociological implications. <i>Multisensory Living in Ancient Rome </i>will appeal to all students and researchers interested in Roman daily life and domestic architecture.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Hannah Platts</b> is Senior Lecturer in Ancient History and Archaeology at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.<b></b>
