The Colloquia are manuals written to help ancient Greeks and Romans
get around in each other's languages; they contain examples of how
to conduct activities like shopping, banking, visiting friends,
hosting parties, taking oaths, winning lawsuits, using the public
baths, having fights, making excuses and going to school. They thus
offer a unique glimpse of daily life in the early Roman Empire and
are an important resource for understanding ancient culture. They
have, however, been unjustly neglected because until now there were
no modern editions of the texts, no translations into any modern
language, and little understanding of what the Colloquia are and
where they come from. This book completes the task begun by Volume
1 of making the Colloquia accessible for the first time, presenting
a new edition, translation and commentary of the remaining
surviving texts. It is clearly written and will interest students,
non-specialists and professional scholars alike.
