Product Description
Naphtali Lewis and Meyer Reinhold's Roman Civilization is a classic. Originally published by Columbia University Press in 1955, the authors have undertaken another revision which takes into account recent work in the field. These volumes consist of selected primary documents from ancient Rome, covering a range f over 1,000 years of Roman culture, from the foundation of the city to its sacking by the Goths.The selections cover a broad spectrum of Roman civilization, including literature, philosophy, religion, education, politics, military affairs, and economics. These English translations of literary, inscriptional, and papyrological sources, many of which are available nowhere else, create a mosaic of the brilliance, the beauty, and the power of Rome.

Customer Reviews
wonderfully interesting
This book is a great learning aid to discovering the workings of the Roman Empire, as well as being essential to several ou courses. It is relativly easy to navigate having worked out the indexing system. Well recomended.
Good, but not great
this book is a must if you are studying Latin or Classical Civilisation. The content is good on a huge range of subjects, although the index is not brilliant. The sources are detailed, but when quoting the author or source it is not as clear as it could be. It could be quite confusing when it comes to writing a bibliography. Overall, a very useful book to have in one's library.
