Books on Ancient Greece and Rome
These links take you to the Amazon.com
page for each book.
For every book purchased through a
direct link on this page, 15% of the amount will go to a book gift
fund. [This is basically the same thing as my Classical Studies department's
"Pop Top" Book Acquisition Fund. We collect cans and plastic
bottles for pennies, but they add up! We then purchase books for
the graduate students' use in the departmental library.] If you are
thinking about purchasing one of these titles today, tomorrow, or whenever,
please visit this page again and help us in our quest for knowledge!
Feel free to suggest titles to me
also! I would be more than happy to make additions to this page. EMAIL
