Description
The Roman Way by Edith Hamilton A vivid portrayal of Roman civilization, this history draws on the greatest writers of the age to reveal the spirit and life of ancient Rome. Cicero's letters, Catullus' poetry, Horace's chronicles, and the works of Virgil, Livy, and Seneca are among the literary guides used by Hamilton. The author contrasts the high-mindedness of Stoicism with the collapse of values as witnessed by Tacitus and Juvenal, providing a nuanced understanding of Rome's complexities. This work offers a unique insight into the Roman world, making it an engaging read for those interested in history and ancient culture. With 224 pages of insightful commentary, The Roman Way is a thought-provoking exploration of one of history's most fascinating civilizations.
