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 has
not been any 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 makes the Colloquia accessible
for the first time by combining a new edition, translation and
commentary with a ground-breaking, comprehensive study of their
origins. It is clearly written and will interest students,
non-specialists and professional scholars alike.
