Synopsis:

For Roman History and Western Civilization courses.

This concise volume presents a selection of historical documents from the founding of Rome to its fall. All of the documents were translated from the Latin by D. Brendan Nagle, a recognized authority in Roman history. It is designed to provide students of history and civilization with a balanced selection of texts illustrating the social, cultural, political and military history of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. Visual Documents provide unique insight into the material culture of ancient Rome.

From the Back Cover:

The Roman World offers students a chance to explore the life and culture of ancient Rome through original translations of key textual sources and in-depth examination of visual evidence. Covering such important topics as religion, warfare, family life, politics, the pax Romana, and the fall of the Empire, The Roman World is an indispensable resource for courses in both ancient history and the classics. With chapter introductions that help students situate the readings, and maps and discussion questions that help them think more deeply about connections and consequences, The Roman World encourages students to move beyond the simple what, when, and where inquiries of history and become true investigators into the complex fabric of a world whose legacy still endures.
