The Roman Way is a classic history of Rome in which Rome's history is presented through an examination of the lives and works of its leading writers. It has been published for more than three-quarters of a century without a subject index. This one makes up for the lack. Like The Greek Way, its companion volume, The Roman Way contains a large number of quotations from writers of the period. The sources of quotations in both books are identified in a list of references that follows the text. Because of that, and because works identified in the text of the books generally serve merely as examples, there are few references in the index to specific works by writers. |
