This is a book of quotations and citations that differs from standard books of its kind in a number of important ways. Its main aim is to educate and amuse the reader through great quotations selected on the basis of strict qualitative criteria. The quotations and citations have been arranged in a generally chronological order and they have been provided with copious annotations, explanations, comments and collateral information to make them as meaningful as possible. The book tries to provide an interesting and thought-provoking kaleidoscope of the mind, culture, life and manners of Classical Rome. It endeavors to aid comprehension as much as possible by providing the all-important historical and personal contexts that make quotations and citations come to life. They can thus talk to the reader and can provoke his own responses. Roman culture is one of the most pivotal cultures of the world.

It has been the bridge through which an enriched Greco-Roman culture was transmitted both to.
