The second edition of The Romans: An Introduction is a concise,
readable, and comprehensive survey of the civilization of ancient
Rome. It covers more than 1200 years of political and military
history, including many of the famous, and infamous, personalities
who featured in them. Further, it describes the religions, society,
and daily life of the Romans, and their literature, art,
architecture, and technology, illustrated by extracts in new
translations from Latin and Greek authors of the times. This second
edition contains extensive additional and revised material designed
to enhance the value of the book to students especially of
classical or Roman civilization, Roman history, or elementary
Latin, as well as to general readers and students of other
disciplines for whom an understanding of the civilization and
literature of Rome is desirable. In particular, the chapter on
religions has been expanded, as have the sections on the role of
women and on Roman social divisions and cultural traditions. There
is more, too, on the diversity and administration of the empire at
different periods, on changes in the army, and on significant
figures of the middle and later imperial eras. New features include
a glossary of Latin terms and timelines. Maps have been redrawn and
new ones included along with extra illustrations, and reading lists
have been revised and updated. The book now has its own dedicated
website at www.the-romans.co.uk, which is packed full of additional
resources.
