Purchase options and add-ons

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ancient translated documents of the Roman Empire.
Reviewed in the United States on 24 February 2020
Verified Purchase
Fascinating book about many different facets of Roman civilization and culture two thousand years ago. The reader who likes history, and especially the history of Rome would find the book fascinating. It would be good for an average person who likes history, up through a college professor like certain kinds of selective documents. A wonderful resource.

This book puts life and context into the readings regarding ancient Roman civilisation, and is rare in that it illustrates the lives of women as well as other themes. A great source book.
