Ancient Rome at the height of its empire resembles a modern metropolis far more than we might think. Its 1.5 million inhabitants faced the same problems as their heirs two thousand years later: high housing costs and traffic jams, an influx of immigrants, and the need to bribe city officials...

The author invites us to "put on a cap of invisibility" and spend an entire day in Rome, from dawn to dusk, in 115 AD: mill about on a crowded street and peer into the Colosseum, attend a court hearing and luxurious baths, sample exquisite dishes, and enjoy conversation at a dinner party. And end the day on a love bed—here, too, nothing has changed in two thousand years.
