Description
Embark on an entertaining and enlightening journey through the Latin words and phrases that continue to enrich the English language. Delve into the fascinating world of ancient Rome with our engaging book, written by two esteemed classical scholars who skilfully blend wisdom with a light and accessible touch. Themed chapters contextualise hundreds of Latin phrases, each included in English translation, with insightful historical context to explain how the Romans thought, spoke and lived. From the cheeky and sometimes scandalous Roman graffiti discovered inside a Pompeiian brothel to the eloquent musings of Cicero on aging gracefully, this book offers a diverse range of insights into the ancient Roman mindset. Includes a useful Glossary and a timeline of Roman Emperors.
