A wonderful book of primary sources from the time of the Roman Empire. This is what the Romans really did and thought. Not the Hollywood version. I used an updated version in college, but I bought this one for a friend. Anyone interested in Ancient Rome needs to have a copy of this book on their book shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent primary source collection
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2015

Purchased for a university course, this book has provided me with an astonishing amount of primary historical evidence. Now, one could be excused for assuming that such a work can be dry, terribly formatted and inaccessible. This book is the exact opposite of all those traits. Firstly, the source evidence is segregated into sections (e.g. money, religion, women etc.) and each section then bears a selection of primary material relating to that topic. The references chosen are fascinating - whether you are investigating Roman economy, or slave relations, selections of diverse sources ranging from Pliny to individual wills and engravings, will provide you with unimpaired and unabridged historical knowledge of the period.

The text is laid out very neatly and whilst it does not contain coloured images, the text is still pleasant to read and navigate. Lastly, each section provides the reader with a brief overview of the topic / source by the author - those soundbites are very informative and often set the context perfectly for investigating the sources.

Overall, a fine collection of primary sources that I recommend to all students of Rome at any level (but not only - this can be easily a worthy addition to a collection of any enthusiast of the classical world, or someone eager to learn about the Romans through their own words, not modern historians, who often impose their personal theoretical interpretations on a variety of Roman topics).

If you want to know what Romans wrote, felt, did and used in their daily lives, then this is the publication for you.

This translation of hundreds of original Latin and Greek documents gave me deep insights into the lives of both famous and ordinary people. Fascinating to read and great as a historical reference.

I spent a lot of time in Greco Roman studies in college and still thoroughly enjoy it today. This book is a fun resource and not bad as a straight read.
