Roman Antiquities, and Ancient Mythology

This book has two parts: the first part is about Rome and Roman life. It tells about society, political system, religion, the military and more. This first part gives the facts but does not explain a lot, it reads a bit like reading a list of facts, like you're reading an encyclopedia. A lot of latin terms are explained, like: Plebeian, plebs, urbana, rustica, numera senatum, villa publica, etc. Handy if you need or want to have a basic knowledge of Roman society.

The second part is about Roman mythology, and tells the stories Apollo, Mercury, Bacchus, Mars, Minerva, Iris and many more. This part of the book also has some bits that read a bit like a encyclopedia, but also more narrative parts.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know more about Roman society and Roman mythology. This book is a bit like a encyclopedia, so you don't have the idea that you're reading exiting or thrilling stories, but if its the knowledge of these subject matters you're after, then this book is what you're looking for. You don't need any previous knowledge of these subjects to read this book with ease, it's target audience were highschool students.
