Publisher's Comments:

The World of Rome is an introduction to the history and culture of Rome for anyone seriously interested in the ancient world. It covers all aspects of the city--its rise to power, what made it great and why it still engages and challenges us today. Frequent quotations from ancient writers and numerous illustrations make this a stimulating and accessible introduction to ancient Rome. The book is particularly designed to serve as a background to Reading Latin (CUP 1986).

• Follows the pattern of best-selling World of Athens

• Up to date, scholarly, accessible, and stimulating

• Following his highly successful ‘Learn Latin for Christmas’ series of articles in the Sunday Telegraph last year, Peter Jones is writing another series for the Saturday Telegraph entitled ‘World of Rome’ which will run until March and tie in with publication

• Beautifully illustrated with over one hundred illustrations, four maps

Reviews:

"...thoughtful and well written....The book's great strength is its use of concrete historical, artistic, and literary examples to illustrate the complex ideas under discussion....A suitable companion for a beginning student."
