(3) 4-6 Life in the Roman Empire series. These well-researched volumes include frequent art reproductions, quotations from Roman poets and historians, and boxed insets to highlight interesting aspects of the material. The author avoids gimmicks and refuses to over-emphasize sensational elements of Roman history, such as gladiators. The two more narrowly focused volumes, City and Patricians, are the strongest. Reading list, source notes, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Life in the Roman Empire titles: The City, The Countryside, and The Patricians.
