"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? 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. Multisensory Living in Ancient
Rome will appeal to all students and researchers interested in Roman daily life and
domestic architecture"
