Paperback. Condition: Gut. Third edition. 117 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - slightly rubbed and scuffed otherwise perfect condition - The Advance of Rome in Italy -- The Training of the Roman Character -- The Struggle with Carthage and Hannibal -- Dominion and Degeneracy -- The Revolution: Act I -- The Revolution : Act II -- Augustusthe Revival of the Roman -- Spirit -- Life in the Roman Empire -- The Empire under the Antonines - LET US SUPPOSE an ordinary Englishman, with no special know- ledge of classical history, to be looking at a collection of Roman antiquities in the cases of a museum. He will probably not linger long over these cases, but will pass on to something more likely to attract his interest. The objects he is looking at are, for the most part, neither striking nor beautiful, and the same are presented for his inspection over and over again as collections from various Roman sites. They are chiefly useful things, implements and Utensils of all kinds, and fragments of military weapons and armour. In the coins he can take no delight, because, apart from the fact that, uninterpreted, they have no tale to teil him, they do not excite his admiration by beauty of design and workmanship. If, indeed, he were visiting a museum at Rome, he would find plenty of beautiful things in it; but these are works of Greek artists, imported by wealthy or tasteful Romans in the later ages of Rome's history. A typical collection of genuine Roman antiquities would probably have the effect I describe. Utility, not beauty, would seem to have been the motive of the people who left these things behind them. -- The same motive will also be suggested to us if we visit any of the larger Roman works either in this country or on the Continent. Most of us know the look of a Roman road running Straight over hill and valley, and meant mainly for military purposes, to enable troops to move rapidly and to survey the country as they marched. In the towns which have been excavated, we usually find that the most spacious and striking buildings must have been the meetinghalls (basilicae), in which business of all kinds was transacted, and especially business connected with law and government.
