Daily Life in Ancient Rome: A Sourcebook

Daily Life in Ancient Rome: A Sourcebook

"One really must admire Harveyâ€™s achievement in this sourcebook. With just 350 passages (more than half of them consisting of Latin inscriptions, from all over Romeâ€™s empire), Harvey manages to give his readers a real sense of Roman private values and behaviors. His translations of the original texts are superbâ€”both accurate and elegant. And he contextualizes his chosen passages with a series of remarkably economical but solidly reliable introductions. In a word, Harveyâ€™s sourcebook strikes me as the best now available for a single-semester undergraduate course."
