Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-18 00:00:00 Keith Peel rubbish, the authoer makes a common mistake of allowing his personal preudices to colour his apporoach. If you believe Kiefer, all romans were seual sadists, avoid this book!

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-05 00:00:00 Julie Oneill I really enjoyed this one! I was all prepared for sexist, misogynist, homophobic comments, but it really wasn't that bad, especially considering it was written in 1934. I thought the author did a good job of being fair to Rome as its own culture with its own cultural values and norms. He had some great comments about scholars who judge societies by their values and how nonsensical this is. I also love how he is upfront about his bias and points out everyone who writes history has their own bias. He definitely has a love of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. There are some quotes of his I will have to add later. A truly informative and engaging book. As a side note: I will never think of the word "fascinating" the same way.
