    Rome - the single greatest influence upon western civilization. "To Be a Roman: Topics in Roman Culture" is a complete and comprehensive guide to what's usually glossed over about this great civilization - the day to day life of its citizens.

The perfect resource for anyone who wants a more complete understanding of the Roman culture, "To Be a Roman: Topics in Roman Culture" is a must have for them and community library reference collections.

  • great book for teachers and homeschoolers

    The authors of this book have created something very useful for both classroom teachers and parents who homeschool their children. To Be A Roman is one of best "Roman Culture" books that I have read and used in the classroom. Many books discuss the topics in this text (ranging from family dynamics, politics, and the ancient economy), but they are either dreadfully boring or cursory in their coverage. What is great is that this text can fit with almost any learner. For those new to Roman culture, it provides enough preliminary explanation to bring the ancient world to life. For those who know a little about the Romans already, this book provides details that make the Romans seem more human than we accustomed to.

    The chapters are delineated by subject. At the end of each chapter there are a variety of exercises. Some test knowledge, others give ideas for projects or research. All of the chapters and their activities are suitable for middle school and high school students.

    I would encourage any parent looking to homeschool their children to use this book as part of their curriculum, just as I would encourage any Latin teacher to use it in the classroom as well. The authors are well-respected Classicists who have done a very good job consolidating a lot of information. They also treat the information without adding critical, judgmental comments. Ultimately, this is a well written book that easy to use and should be a part of any Latin teacher's resources.
