Review
'With 400 richly illustrated pages, it is the most up-to-date general introduction to Roman life, history and culture available.' Daily Telegraph
'Books entitled 'An introduction to ... ' can so easily fail, if only because of the wealth of material to be covered. As an introduction to the Roman world, this volume succeeds and should be essential reading.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'... stimulating and up-to-date ... I am sure many generations of students to come will have cause to be very grateful for the insight into the mindset of the Romans offered by this book.' JACT Review
Book Description
Following the same model as The World of Athens, this book opens with two chapters outlining the history and identity of Rome 1000 BC–AD 476. Subsequent chapters examine how Rome was governed (from Republic to Empire), economic and social life, and Roman attitudes towards the rest of the world as reflected in the arts. Written by experts in the field, beautifully illustrated and with copious sources, this is the essential introduction to the Roman world. It serves as a background to Reading Latin (CUP 1986).
