The daily life of the Greeks and Romans as illustrated in the classical collections

"The Daily Life of the Greeks and Romans as Illustrated in the Classical Collections" by Helen McClees is a historical exploration of ancient Greek and Roman life as seen through artifacts collected at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This non-fiction work seeks to understand the cultures of these civilizations, explaining their customs, religions, social interactions, and general way of life. The writer aims to illustrate the meaningful, but often unseen, history of the people through preserving the day-to-day artifacts that the Greeks and Romans used, and the book explores a wide spectrum of elements from religious practices and theatrical performances to household customs.
