Praise for this book
"Ancient Roman Civilization provides a solid primary-source approach to Roman history--and much more. The text is particularly effective in contextualizing the rise and fall of Rome within the geographical and cultural limits of the greater Mediterranean basin and its various peoples from early Celts and Scythians to the emergence of the Muslim and Byzantine empires."--Brian Duvick, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs"The integration of sources into the narrative is an excellent idea!"--Timothy Doran, California State University, Los Angeles
