Product Description

Review

'Even the briefest of initial glances at this work encourages one to go out and get the other two volumes immediately, just to have the full set. The layout is very clear, the information chosen is both enlightening and succinct.' - Eoin Patterson, JACT Review

Product Description

Who's Who in the Roman World is a wide-ranging biographical survey of one of the greatest civilizations in history. Covering a period from the 5th century BC to AD 500, this is an authoritative and hugely enjoyable guide. The figures represented include notorious emperors such as Nero, great poets, philosophers and historians like Virgil, brilliant politicians and soldiers such as Marcus Peteius, and noteworthy citizens like Gaius Verres. With cross-referencing, a glossary of terms, bibliographies, maps, genealogies and an author's introduction, this volume is a superb reference resource.

Essential Reading 24 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
Initially I bought this book as a reference work and companion for my readings in Roman history. However, not only is this an excellent reference book in its own right with concise biographies and excellent layout, it is very readable as a work of history itself. While I'm not advocating a start to finish read of this book, I have found that if one looks up one entry the cross-referencing system employed leads one to look up several more "connected" entries. Beware as this can become addictive. I've since purchased the Greek companion volume and can also recommend this book by the same author very highly.
