Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. "The Inns of Greece and Rome" offers a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the hospitality industry and social life in classical antiquity. W.C. Firebaugh delves into the history of public houses, taverns, and inns, providing a vivid window into how travelers and locals lived and socialized thousands of years ago. By synthesizing literary accounts, legal codes, and historical records, the work explores the reputation, architecture, and daily operations of these ancient establishments. The narrative brings to life the bustling atmosphere of the Roman popina and the Greek pandokeion, detailing the types of food, drink, and entertainment available to the weary traveler. Firebaugh examines the social status of innkeepers and the legal frameworks that governed their trade, often revealing a world that was as vibrant and rowdy as it was essential to the functioning of the ancient world. From the refined needs of the elite to the basic requirements of the common laborer, this study covers the full spectrum of ancient accommodation. Rich in historical detail and written with an eye for the curious customs of the past, "The Inns of Greece and Rome" is an essential resource for students of classics, social historians, and anyone fascinated by the enduring human experience of travel and hospitality.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
