In this interview, Mark Cartwright, Publishing Director at World History Encyclopedia, discusses his new book, The Romans: Antiquity’s Ultimate Transformative Culture.

We move beyond traditional political and military history to focus on nine aspects of everyday Roman life, from family, religion, and government to food, clothing, marriage, and entertainment, and what these reveal about Roman identity.

The conversation also explores Rome’s achievements in art, architecture, science, and engineering, and how they shaped daily life across the empire, as well as why Roman society can still feel surprisingly familiar today despite being so distant in time.
