Aimed chiefly at the student of Latin, the text was chiefly written as a means of contextualizing this difficult language and, in doing so, encouraging a positive approach to study. The topics covered reflect the author's personal interests regarding Rome, adding to the accessibility of an account which avoids dry, logical history in favour of an approach based on engaging the reader and spurring their enthusiasm. Overall, this is a highly readable book, containing numerous illustrations, that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Latin and the Roman world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
