Books in the BCP Classical World S. series

The author, who states that Latin literature gains from being viewed as performance, sees the creation of different characters or "masks" as a result of the Greco-Roman training in rhetoric. The implications of the use of these "masks" for authors and audiences of satire are explored.

This text aims to provide students with an introduction to Roman Britain, and a guide to further areas of study. It ranges from Britain's Celtic origins, through the history of Roman occupation, to discussions of its administrations, economy, communication, urban development, religion and art.
