The Ancient Romans  Chester G. Starr  A companion to The Ancient
Greeks, this text focuses on the principal Roman historical
figures and their epochs--from Hannibal and Julius Caesar to
Saint Augustine--and discusses the significance of the Roman
people's development in Western history. The Greek and Etruscan
heritage of the Romans, Roman art, architecture and engineering,
and the development of politics and law are also discussed. The
volume is also enhanced by readings and quotations from original
sources, a brief bibliography, and a pronouncing glossary.
