Stated first United States edition. First printing. Unclipped ($25.00), mylar protected dust jacket. The DJ has no tears, chips or creases, but the inside flaps have the beginnings of a age toning. The book has clean text, no marks or writing, solid binding. The top edges of the boards have some fading. The bottom edges have a couple of shallow shelf bumps. Very faint rippling to the front of the textblock in just the middle of the text.

About this title

Synopsis

Provides brief descriptions of the careers, characters, and personal lives of the emperors of Rome

Reviews

Because of omission and compression, these factual accounts of 92 emperors from Augustus to Romulus Augustulus will not be readily comprehensible to the general audience for whom they were designed. However, excerpts from ancient authors highlight eccen tricities of individuals. Maps, genealo gies, and appendixes offer help in sort ing out details, but there is no bibliography. For some, Grant's com pilation may serve as a handy but limit ed reference tool; certainly it is no sub stitute for any readable history that treats not only personalities, war, and politics but also literature and the arts.

Store Description

I am an online bookseller. I accept credit cards thru ABE. I am very careful to describe any imperfections a book or dust jacket may have. Generally, all flaws will be mentioned, however, some slight imperfections may be judged as not worthy of specific mention. Customers are always welcome to request more detailed information about a book's condition prior to ordering. Most of our books have dust jackets and a removable mylar covering, unless otherwise indicated. Photographs are of the book you will receive.
