"Terrific . . . exactly the sort of collection we have long needed:
one offering a wide range of texts, both literary and documentary,
and that--with the inclusion of Sulpicia and Perpetua--allows
students to hear the voices of actual women from the ancient world.
The translations themselves are fluid; the inclusion of long
extracts allows students to sink their teeth into material in ways
not possible with traditional source books. The anonymous texts,
inscriptions, and other non-literary material topically arranged in
the 'Documentary' section will enable students to see how the
documentary evidence supplements or undermines the views advanced
in the literary texts. This is a book that should be of great use
to anyone teaching a survey of the history of Ancient Rome or a
Roman Civilization course. I look forward to teaching with this
book which is, I think, the best source book I have seen for the
way we teach these days." --David Potter, University of Michigan
