A History of the Roman People offers students a comprehensive, up-to-date, readable introduction to the whole span of Roman history.

This latest edition enhances the political narrative with explorations of elements of daily life in the Roman world.
New features in this edition include:

Review:
Celia E. Schultz is Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Michigan, USA, where she is currently Director of the Interdepartmental Program in Greek and Roman History.
Allen M. Ward is Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Connecticut, USA.
"This new edition of A History of the Roman People presents a clear, reliable, and accessible survey of the ancient Roman world. The political narrative of the growth and transformation of the Roman Empire is described in fluid and engaging fashion, and social, cultural, and economic topics receive appropriate contextualization. Ancient sources are helpfully introduced at the beginning of chapters, and charming boxes on topics such as poisoning, latrines, and publishing provide colorful detail. This remarkable textbook should be the standard introduction to the Roman world."
- Carolynn Roncaglia, Santa Clara University, USA
