Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius
Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius, first published in 1904, is Samuel Dill's study of a century of Roman life that is usually seen through the eyes of satirists and emperors. Dill wants to know what ordinary people believed and did. In four books he examines the court and the senatorial class, the freedmen and the urban poor, the municipal life of the towns and their clubs and guilds, the Stoic teachers who served as moral advisers to the educated, and the religious revival that brought Isis, Mithra and other cults into the Roman world. He reads Juvenal, Martial, Seneca, Pliny, Plutarch and the inscriptions with equal attention, and treats the period as a prelude to the triumph of Christianity.
