Ancient Voices: An Insider's Guide to Classical Rome

  The ancient world was not ancient to its inhabitants -- it was a vibrant world full of ideas. Studying people from the outside affords knowledge and insight, but to transform that knowledge and insight into wisdom and discernment, we must open ourselves to seeing the world through the eyes of the people of the past.
