How to Survive in Ancient Rome by LJ Trafford

30 October 2020 By Editor

Buy How to Survive in Ancient Rome by LJ Trafford

Imagine you were transported back in time to Ancient Rome and you had to start a new life there.

How would you fit in? Where would you live? What would you eat? Where would you go to have your hair done? Who would you go to if you got ill, or if you were mugged in the street?

All these questions, and many more, will be answered in this new how-to guide for time travellers.

Part self-help guide, part survival guide, this lively and engaging book will help the reader deal with the many problems and new experiences that they will face, and also help them to thrive in this strange new environment.

How to Survive in Ancient Rome by LJ Trafford is published on 29 October, 2020.

Read more about the bizarre facts behind this book in LJ Trafford’s Historia feature, Gladiator sweat and leech hair dye; how to survive in Ancient Rome.

LJ Trafford talks to Historia about her fascination with Ancient Rome – especially the bizarre bits – and her writing in an interview linked to her short story, The Wedding, also published in Historia.
