One of SJA Turney's fortes is his knowledge of Roman history on the lower levels of society. He weaves 12 tales of Rome from a variety of viewpoints. We read of slaves, Slave owners, Patricians, merchants and Imperial family members. We meet cowards, revenge seeker and people struggling to make do. There is humor and irony with the kind of tales one would tell around the hearth fires at night. It is a collections of lesson one would want to teach young ones as precautions to survive and tales one would use to entertain. Bravo Mr. Turney and thanks for your kind gift.
