Cities of the Ancient World - Season 1 Episode 19 The Lives of the Poor in Rome
0.00 30 minutes Trace a day in the life of an immigrant glass blower in Rome, whose life would be considerably less fortunate thanks to xenophobia, dark and dank tenement housing, and the strong possibility of death by fire, flood, or famine. Then look at what alternatives poor Romans had, including life as a gladiator or soldier.
