The Legacy Of Rome
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Worn/faded, light chipping. Page Condition: Yellowed. Markings: No markings visible. Binding condition: Intact.
A landmark work in classical scholarship, The Legacy of Rome presents a sweeping collection of essays that chronicles the enduring influence of Roman civilisation on the Western world. Edited by Cyril Bailey, the volume gathers contributions from a distinguished roster of scholars — including Ernest Barker, H. Stuart Jones, G. H. Stevenson, Charles Singer, and others — each tackling a distinct facet of Rome's legacy, from law and literature to science and religion. With an introduction by the Right Hon. H. H. Asquith, the collection carries an authoritative gravitas that situates Rome not merely as a historical empire but as the very foundation of modern European culture. Illustrated with seventy-seven images, the work argues compellingly that Rome's intellectual, legal, and artistic achievements remain inseparable from the fabric of contemporary civilisation.
