This first Guide in the collection obviously adheres to the stated general principles that characterize the works of this new series. Indeed, the intent of the book is not to provide yet another History of Roman Civilization.Its primary purpose is to be a faithful guide to the core of Roman history and mores, as well as to Rome itself.For example, how can we understand the religious beliefs of the Republic's Romans if we limit ourselves to reading glossary articles on Roman gods and cults ? A religion that excludes any notion of faith and conceives of itself in the context of an administrative organization is too remote for us to understand. To provide the desired information, while situating these aspects in their contexts, is the primary purpose of this work.- 40 maps, plans, tables, diagrams- Index- Biographical index- Selective thematic bibliographiesNotable works by historian and Latin scholar Jean- Noèl Robert that have been published by Belles Lettresinclude : Les Plaisirs à Rome, Les modes à Rome, Erosromain, De Rome à la Chine.
