David Cherry is Associate Professor of History at Montana State University, Bozeman. He is the author of Frontier and Society in Roman North Africa (1998) and has recently updated A History of Rome by Marcel Le Glay, Jean-Louis Voisin and Yann Le Bohec (2nd edition, Blackwell, 2000).

"The great virtue of Cherry's book is that the [chapter] selections are long enough to give the reader a feel not only for the topic at hand but also for the Roman way of thinking. The volume, in all, presents an excellent starting point for the study of Rome and the Romans." Jeanne Neumann O'Neill, Davidson College "This collection will be of much use to students and to those wanting a rapid insight into Greco-Roman civilisation." Daedalus
