Not Bad Stuff...Easy Reading,
By Frank Beckendorf "Frank from Chalmette and no... (Abilene, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daily Life of the Ancient Romans (The Greenwood Press Daily Life Through History Series) (Hardcover)
What was it like to be a typical ancient Roman? Well, author Matz tells you in this gem. Whether by amusement or tidbit, Matz takes a different approach in writing this reference book. No confusing prose, text, etc. No confusing paradigms or models.. No confusing concept... Matz takes you through short passages to make his points, and that he successfully does. So, if you want to read about the Roman Empire and don't want to get bored, confused, twisted or anything else that leads you away from its purpose, buy this book. It's different, pleasantly different. ---from Chalmette, LA
