The Teacher in Ancient Rome: The Magister and His World by Lisa
Maurice investigates a particular aspect of education in ancient
Rome, namely the figure of the teacher. After identifying and
defining the different kinds of teachers in the Roman education
systems, Maurice illuminates their ways of life both as both
professionals and members of society. This text surveys the
physical environment in which teachers worked, as well as the
methods, equipment, and techniques used in the classroom. Slavery,
patronage, and the social and financial status of the various types
of teachers are considered in depth. Maurice examines ideological
issues surrounding teachers, discussing the idealized figure of the
teacher and the frequent differences between this ideal and actual
educators. Also explored are the challenges posed by the
interaction of Greek and Roman culture and later between paganism
and Christianity and how these social clashes affected those
responsible for educating the youth of society. The Teacher in
Ancient Rome is a comprehensive treatment of a figure instantly
recognizable yet strikingly different from that of the modern
teacher."
