Reseña del editor:

Romans, their families and homes, their meat, drink, and clothing, their means of culture, amusement, etc., has been compiled, for the most part, from the latest German authorities on this interesting subject. It is especially based on the encyclopedic work of Marquardt and Mommsen, Handbuch derR omischen A I terthumer: Siebenter Band, Privatleben derR omer, von Joachim Marquardt. 2te A uflage. Leipzig, S. Hirzel, 1886. For illustrations of the imperial period, constant reference has also been made to the more discursive but always striking and suggestive work of Prof. Ludwig Friedlander, Darstellungen aus derS ittengeschichte Roms, in der Zeit vonA ugust bis zum A usgany derA ntonine. Fiinfte neu bearbeitete und vermehrte A uflage. Leipzig, S. Hirzel, 1881. The Gallus of Prof. W. A. Becker remains, as it has always been since its first appearance in 1838, an indispensable aid to one who would form a reasonably complete mental picture of the domestic life of classical antiquity. Great condensation of material has, of course, been necessary; but the endeavor of the compilers has been to seize the salient points, and to furnish, within the prescribed limit of the volumes constituting this series, at least a fairly complete outline of a well-nigh inexhaustible subject.
