Rose Williams has a lifetime's experience of teaching, and has applied her dedication and knowledge to an excellent and enormously useful reader. Readings cover such topics and stories as: the birth and growth of the city of Rome, the wars with Rome's various enemies, the emperors, and the eventual decline of the Empire. Each is accompanied by a Latin motto or maxim, such as "persona non grata," "carpe diem," etc., highlighting the presence of Latin in our everyday language.

Rose Williams presents a humorous, illustrated account of the history of Rome from Aeneas, through Troy, to the end of the Roman Empire. Working on the premise that students need to have some historical background to their language study, this book presents it in a way that is both pleasant and instructive. The "reality check" that is provided will supply the students with historical explanation where needed.
