Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a fourth century grammarian and philosopher, collects and organizes the discussions of a well-placed social circle in the days leading up to a Roman festival. The discussions cover a wide range of topics including the origins of various Roman customs, traditions, and religious practices as well as the nature of festivals, including Saturnalia. The author himself was not present for these discussions but reconstructs them through the reported testimony of an attendee. The resulting work provides insight into the social and cultural landscape of the Roman elite in the tumultuous years surrounding the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
