About this ebook
"One really must admire Harvey’s achievement in this sourcebook. With just 350 passages (more than half of them consisting of Latin inscriptions, from all over Rome’s empire), Harvey manages to give his readers a real sense of Roman private values and behaviors. His translations of the original texts are superb—both accurate and elegant. And he contextualizes his chosen passages with a series of remarkably economical but solidly reliable introductions. In a word, Harvey’s sourcebook strikes me as the best now available for a single-semester undergraduate course."

After keep looking for a book that treated the Latin inscriptions either from tombstones to graffitis this is by far the best tittle. both books from the author are a masterpiece. if you loved what you saw in Mary Bear's Meet the Romans this is exactly what you are looking for Meet the common Romans as they were by the inscriptions they left
