In Search of the Romans (Second Edition)
«The real achievement of this book is how it covers a huge range of topics in such a detailed yet unintimidating manner. It doesn’t shy away from challenging concepts, and pushes the reader to engage with ancient material and think carefully about important questions. The presentation of the second edition is especially impressive.»
Rebecca Usherwood, Assistant Professor in Late Antique and Early Byzantine Studies, Trinity College

Activity boxes and further reading lists throughout each chapter aid students' understanding of the subject. Review questions challenge students to read further and reflect on some of the most important social, political and cultural issues of ancient Rome, as well as to compare them with those of their own society. The new edition is supported by a website that includes images, maps and timelines, further reading and related links.

«Since its initial publication in 2012, I have recommended In Search of the Romans as my first choice for introductory courses on Roman civilization… this revised second edition makes smart changes and useful improvements, making it a necessary update for every classroom.»
