Mammoth Book of Eyewitness Ancient Rome

The great events of Roman history are represented here, from the Battle of Mylae to the triumph of the Barbarians; but so too is Rome's social, cultural and religious life in all its sophistication, luxury and depravity. Using memoirs, letters and official reports, inscriptions and household accounts, this new collection draws from life sketches of the Roman way of war, empire building, civilization and the pax romana.
