The Romans: An Introduction
The Romans: An Introduction
2nd edition is a concise, readable, and comprehensive
survey of the civilization of ancient Rome. It covers more than 1,200 years of political
and military history, including many of the famous, and infamous, personalities who
featured in them, and describes the religions, society, and daily life of the Romans,
and their literature, art, architecture, and technology, illustrated by extracts in new
translations from Latin and Greek authors of the times.
This new edition contains extensive additional and revised material designed
to enhance the value of the book to students especially of classical or Roman civil-
ization, Roman history, or elementary Latin, as well as to general readers and students
of other disciplines for whom an understanding of the civilization and literature of
Rome is desirable. In particular, the chapter on religions has been expanded, as have
the sections on the role of women and on Roman social divisions and cultural
traditions. There is more, too, on the diversity and administration of the empire at
different periods, on changes in the army, and on significant figures of the middle
and later imperial eras.
New features include a glossary of Latin terms and timelines. Maps have been
redrawn and new ones included along with extra illustrations, and reading lists have
been revised and updated. The book now has its own dedicated website packed full
of additional resources: www.the-romans.co.uk.
