* This book provides the first sustained account of the nature of
leisure in ancient Rome.
* It examines largely ignored aspects of Roman life such as gambling, taverns, prostitution and bathing.
* Very up-to-date in terms of broader debates in history and historiography, drawing on well known authors such as Shama and Geertz to re-examine a central dimension of Roman social life.
