Product description

Review

The book's use of primary sources to illustrate daily experiences makes it valuable both for the historical and cultural background it presents and for the wide array of Roman voices it includes. Its chapter arrangement and direct, informative style make it an excellent supplementary text for courses on classical literature. The chronology and brief biographies of Roman authors are valuable and uncomplicated resources --Okey Goode, Lewis-Clark State College



A very good, comprehensive introduction to Roman life. Especially valuableare the primary source quotes that let the ancients speak for themselves. I am particularly pleased that the author even probed the treasury of CIL in digging up primary sources. This helps students realize that the treasury of ancient Roman literature is vast, and is handed down to us in various forms. . . the index of authors, which provides a brief biography and list of major works for each, is especially attractive. Students, I feel, will find this index particularly helpful. All in all, a very fine intro. --Keith C. Wessel, Martin Luther College

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Matz is a professor of Classical Languages at St. Bonaventure University, located in western New York State. He's written seven books about Greek and Roman civilization and culture, including three on daily life in the ancient world, and another on Greek and Roman sports.

He also enjoys writing gently satirical op-ed pieces for newspapers, often featuring his fictional alter ego, Professor Carlton Molesworth. A number of these stories have appeared on the editorial pages of The Buffalo News.

He's a diehard lover of baseball, and still plays the game, on an over-50 team based in Jamestown, New York. He spends perhaps too much time blogging about his favorite professional team, the Milwaukee Brewers, on a blogsite sponsored by The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. But he justifies the blogging on the grounds that since it's a form of written communication, and since he considers himself a writer, it therefore qualifies as time well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good book for introducing GCSE students to source work

A really good book for introducing GCSE students to source work. Sometimes it doesn't give you exactly what you need but even that is good as it teaches them about how you put sources together in order to get a general picture.
