Excerpt from A Source Book of Roman History Easily accessible translations have been used wherever it was possible. In the appendix I have indicated after the name of each author the translation used. Where no name is given, the extracts were translated either by Mr. R. F. Scholz or by myself. In using the translations I have made a few slight changes in wording and punctuation. I have usually retained any important notes given in the translations. The illustrations are intended merely to suggest that pictures form a very important class of sources. In the appendix brief statements are given as to the provenance and description of these pictures. Most of our text-books are well illustrated. And their pictures should be utilized as far as possible for class room exercises. No fancy-pictures should be so used only representations of actual remains, of statuary, or of Roman drawings. The students should describe what the picture represents and its historic importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
