The Roman Way. Illustrated

Edith Hamilton,

About this book

In The Roman Way, Edith Hamilton turns her keen historical insight and elegant prose toward the civilization that shaped law, politics, and culture for the Western world. Through vivid portraits of Rome's greatest writers — including Cicero, Horace, Juvenal, Seneca, and others — she reveals the Roman mind in all its practicality, ambition, wit, and moral complexity. Rather than focusing solely on battles and emperors, Hamilton brings the reader into the heart of Roman life: its political debates, philosophical reflections, satire, and personal letters. She shows how Romans balanced grandeur with discipline, and how their ideals — and flaws — continue to influence modern society. This illustrated edition enhances the text with images of ancient ruins, art, and manuscripts, allowing readers to connect visually with the world Hamilton describes. By interweaving historical context with direct translations of classical works, The Roman Way becomes more than a history book — it is a living conversation with the past. Accessible yet deeply erudite, this work is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand Rome not as a distant empire, but as a society of real people whose voices still speak to us across the centuries.
