A Cabinet of Roman Curiosities: Strange Tales and Surprising Facts from the World's Greatest Empire. Кабинет римских диковинок: странные истории и удивительные факты из величайшей империи мира. Дж. К. МакКаун (J. C. McKeown) ; Oxford University Press

Here is a whimsical and captivating collection of odd facts, strange beliefs, outlandish opinions, and other highly amusing trivia of the ancient Romans. We tend to think of the Romans as a pragmatic people with a ruthlessly efficient army, an exemplary legal system, and a precise and elegant language. A Cabinet of Roman Curiosities shows that the Romans were equally capable of bizarre superstitions, logic-defying customs, and often hilariously derisive views of their fellow Romans and non-Romans.
