About this Item
Description:
Boston: David R. Godine. 1985. First edition. 274 pages. Bibliography, index. Excellent and fascinating A-Z guide to life and culture in Ancient Rome. Cloth, fine copy in fine dust jacket in a mylar protector. Seller Inventory # 645
Synopsis:
Describes the origins and history of words adopted from Latin and discusses ancient and modern usage
From Library Journal:
A is for atavism, B is for bellicose. Twenty-one essays, each beginning with a letter of the classical Latin alphabet, ramble off into little lessons in Roman history, culture, and etymology. Although the facts make interesting browsing, the frivolous, often trite style is distracting. A bibliography of more scholarly works is appended. Maurice Taylor, Brunswick Cty. Lib., Southport,
