HEAR SAMPLE
Edith Hamilton shows us Rome through the eyes of the Romans. Plautus and Terence, Cicero
and Caesar, Catullus, Horace, Virgil, and Augustus come to life in their ambitions, their work, their loves and
hates. In them we see reflected a picture of Roman life very different from that fixed in our minds through
schoolroom daysand far livelier.
The Roman Way
makes vividly interesting the contrast between Roman and Greek culture. Moreover,
it reveals how surprisingly similar was Roman civilization to that of modern Americain respects ranging from
an interest in good roads and good plumbing, to the popular veneration of home and mother. Our heritage from
Rome includes everything from moral laws to stock characters in the drama. Skillful, witty, subtle in understanding,
this book shows us what the Romans were like, how they lived, what they thought and accomplished.
