Veyne, Paul 1930-

The Roman Empire Paul Veyne, Arthur Goldhammer - UK Belknap Press of of Harvard University Press 1997 - 250tr. Paperback, Illustration 23 cm

This compact book―which appeared earlier in the multivolume series A History of Private Life―is a history of the Roman Empire in pagan times. It is an interpretation setting forth in detail the universal civilization of the Romans―so much of it Hellenic―that later gave way to Christianity. The civilization, culture, literature, art, and even religion of Rome are discussed in this masterly work by a leading scholar.
