FREE: Romans and Aliens by J.P.V.D. Balsdon

The listing, Romans and Aliens by J.P.V.D. Balsdon has ended.

The book covers the entire gamut of Rome's relations with its neighbors and conquered peoples, both in the Republic and the Empire, and how the Romans, The Gods' Own People, viewed the Aliens, and the Aliens Rome.

Balsdon talks about attitudes (Snobbery Begins at Rome), patrons and clients, citizenship, exile, name conventions, and more. About communications: languages, Bad Press and Generally Good Press for Rome; and finally there is a section Different Peoples: Their Looks and Habits, ranging from lifestyle to religion, to death.

The book is easy to follow and should be a useful resource for aspiring writers of historical fiction.


-= PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING =-
Obviously this is a stock photo. I can assure you that ALL of the books from my own personal library (of well over 1000 books) are in very good condition. While they have all been read, some several times, they are all well taken care of with no rips, tears or stains. While I do not smoke, I will not guarantee the environment in which they lived before they came to be with me. This particular HARDBACK book is in VERY GOOD condition. The dust jacket has a couple of rips, but nothing else.

Shipping is for Media Mail and will be combined if more than one book is won. Keep in mind that this is a very heavy 310 page hardback book. I do ask that you tell me you are bidding (or planning on bidding) on more than one of my items.

Good luck and thanks for looking!
