"Avoiding traditional caricatures of the Romans as uniquely noble or depraved, this book uses the Latin vocabulary to figure out what mattered to the Romans themselves and how they thought about it. Interweaving quotations, anecdotes, and analysis in a lighthearted and readable way, Christopher Francese holds the mirror of language up to the obsessions and blind spots of the Romans, and by extension to some of our own as well."--BOOK JACKET.
