Product Overview
One really must admire Harveys achievement in this sourcebook. With just 350 passages (more than half of them consisting of Latin inscriptions, from all over Romes empire), Harvey manages to give his readers a real sense of Roman private values and behaviors. His translations of the original texts are superbboth accurate and elegant. And he contextualizes his chosen passages with a series of remarkably economical but solidly reliable introductions. In a word, Harveys sourcebook strikes me as the best now available for a single-semester undergraduate course.
