Not Bad Stuff...Easy Reading

What was it like to be a typical ancient Roman? Well, author Matz tells you in this gem. Whether by amusement or tidbit, Matz takes a different approach in writing this reference book. No confusing prose, text, etc. No confusing paradigms or models.. No confusing concept... Matz takes you through short passages to make his points, and that he successfully does. So, if you want to read about the Roman Empire and don't want to get bored, confused, twisted or anything else that leads you away from its purpose, buy this book. It's different, pleasantly different. ---from Chalmette, LA
