Latin text covering 448 pages plus index. My school latin is not quite up to it, so I have left the uncut pages uncut. The paper is in beautiful condition, as is the binding. The dark grey paper of the cover boards is nicked and cornerworn, but that does not spoil the book. Paper label on spine is darkened but still readable. Best thing, though, to a casual booklover, is the two exquisite fold-out maps at the rear. One is of ancient Germany, the other of ancient Scotland. It must be ancient because I live here, and I don't recognise any of the place names! The coastline is very accurate, a good piece of cartography for the period. I do recognise Hadrians Wall and the Antonine Wall, so it must be from Roman times. It is steel engraved, and at 8 by 10 inches folded out size, is in lovely condition for a map enthusiast. The same applies to the Germany map. Size: 8vo.
