Roman Antiquities, and Ancient Mythology / For Classical Schools (2nd ed)

The text provides a school-oriented survey of Roman institutions and ancient mythology, outlining Rome's origins, political divisions, social classes, and municipal structures; civic and private rights; public buildings, roads, aqueducts, and household life; religious offices and rites including augurs, pontiffs, and Vestals; calendar, games, magistracies, military organization, legal procedures, dress, arts, marriage, funerals, and measures and coinage. The latter portion systematically summarizes classical mythological figures and categories — celestial, terrestrial, marine, and chthonic deities, underworld punishments and monsters, and heroes honored as divinities — arranged for instructional use.
