Description: "Who's Who in the Roman World is a wide-ranging biographical survey of one of the greatest civilizations in history. Covering a period from the 5th century BC to AD 364, this is a guide to an era which continues to fascinate today. The figures represented come from all walks of Roman life and include some of history's most famous - not to mention infamous - figures as well as hitherto little-known, but no less fascinating, characters. The inclusion of cross-referencing, a glossary of terms, select bibliographies, a chronology and list of the emperors, maps, and an author's preface completes what is at once a superb reference resource and an enormously entertaining read."--Jacket.
