The Roman Empire
Paul Veyne, Arthur Goldhammer

- 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.
