ROMAN WOMAN: EVERYDAY LIFE IN HADRIAN’S BRITAIN
Book ID/图书代码： 09220019C00034
English Summary/英文概要： Roman Britain is vividly portrayed in this fascinating and authentically detailed story about a year in the life of an ordinary woman and her family.
The year is AD 133. Hadrian is Emperor of Rome and all its vast empire, including Britannia. The greater part of that island has long been under imperial rule and the Roman legions control most of the land, quelling uprisings and building new forts and towns. Around the fortress of Eboracum (now known as York), a bustling garrison settlement is developing, while along the north-west frontier of Hadrian’s empire, the legions are completing the construction of a mighty wall.
Introducing us to this world is Senovara, born into the Parisi, a local tribe whose customs have been little changed by Roman rule. But she is also the young wife of Quintus, a veteran of the 6th Legion Victrix. Settling in Quintus’s home is both bewildering and awe-inspiring for Senovara as she seeks to adjust to Eboracum’s cosmopolitan environment, come to terms with new customs and reconcile their cultural differences.
Senovara finds that daily life in the settlement can be harsh; a constant struggle to provide her family with fresh food, water and warmth. Yet there is much enjoyment to be had as well, at the public baths or with new friends. There is also the excitement of religious festivals and in the regular news from the frontier, and peril in the form of a deadly fever which sweeps through Eboracum, forcing Senovara and her children to flee to her brother in the countryside.
Roman Woman is an immersive, compelling narrative which gets to the heart of what life was like for everyday people in Roman Britain.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《罗马女人》这本书讲述了一个普通女人和她的家庭一年的生活，这个引人入胜、真实详细的故事生动地描绘了罗马时期的不列颠。
公元133年。哈德良是罗马及其不列颠的辽阔帝国的皇帝。该岛大部分地区长期处于帝国统治之下，罗马军团控制了大部分土地，镇压了起义，并修建了新的堡垒和城镇。在埃博拉库姆要塞（现称约克）周围，一个熙熙攘攘的驻军定居点正在稳步发展，而在哈德良帝国西北边境，军团正在完成一座雄伟的城墙的建造。
把我们引入这个世界的是她，Senovara。她出生在帕里西，一个当地的部落，其风俗习惯几乎没有被罗马统治改变。但她也是第六军团维克特里克斯退伍军人Quintus的年轻妻子。对Senovara来说，安顿在Quintus的家里既令人困惑又令人敬畏，因为她需要适应埃博拉库姆的国际化环境，接受新的习俗，调和他们的文化差异。
Senovara发现，定居点的日常生活似乎很艰苦；她不断努力为家人提供新鲜食物、水和温暖。不过，无论是在公共浴室还是与新朋友在一起她都能享受到很多乐趣。还有宗教节日的兴奋和来自边境的定期新闻，还有一种致命疾病，这种会让人发烧的疾病席卷了埃博拉库姆，迫使Senovara和她的孩子们逃到乡下的哥哥那里。
《罗马女人》这本书的叙述令人身临其境，它的故事核心是希望向大家展示在罗马时期不列颠的日常生活。(YYW)
