Plebs Romana

Sobre el libro Plebs Romana de Peter Jones publicado por Atlantic al 2025:

Jones has an eagle´s high eye for the history of Rome´ The Times ´Jones makes the classical world feel both beguiling and fresh´ Sunday TimesYou may think about the Roman Empire every day, but I bet you rarely think about the plebs. The plebs were the commoners, the general populace and lower social classes, and as such their feelings, thoughts and voices are seldom captured in the sources. Most books about Ancient Rome treat the plebs as irrelevant ´lowlifes´, which is indeed how they were viewed by the patricians at the centre of the existing popular histories.
