Nardo Does it Again

Once again, historian Don Nardo has turned out a well-organized, well-written, highly useful volume for younger readers about ancient Rome. Like his previously published book titled "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (borrowed from English historian Edward Gibbon's famous masterpiece)this book deals with the the long decline of the Roman realm over several centuries, only in this one Nardo mostly edits essays written by other scholars, all of them well-known and resepcted. Students and anyone of any age interested in ancient Rome will find this book an excellent source of information and, for that matter, just a plain good read.
