About this book
Roman life from the reign of Nero to that of Marcus Aurelius is the stretch Samuel Dill takes up, and he treats it as a turning point. It begins with the collapse of reckless imperial power and ends with a philosopher on the throne, with Trajan and Hadrian between them and almost a century of peace under capable government. Dill, professor of Greek at Queen's College, Belfast, weighs the luxury and vices of the age against its push for moral reform and its hunger for spiritual life, including the effort of philosophy to guide conduct and to remake the old pagan religion. It first appeared in 1904.
