Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Zoch, a high-school teacher of Latin and English, has written a concise, straightforward chronology of Roman history from the mythological founding of Rome to the reign of Marcus Aurelius. He effectively stresses both the political and the moral lessons we can learn from various episodes in Roman history, and he has a knack for breathing life into some of the more mundane topics in the classical period. This is not a work that history buffs will find especially informative, but it will provide the general reader, particularly at the undergraduate level, with a basic knowledge of the key events, personalities, and forces that shaped the republic and the early empire.
