III. Books on special subjects of Roman life, etc. Greenidge: _Roman Public Life_, in Macmillan’s Handbooks of Art and Archæology. Warde Fowler: _Social Life at Rome in the Age of Cicero_. _Life of Cicero_, by Strachan-Davidson, and _Life of Cæsar_, by Warde Fowler, both in Putnam’s series of “Heroes of the Nations.” _Cæsar’s Conquest of Gaul_, by T. Rice Holmes. Dill: _Roman Society from Nero to Marcus Aurelius_.
IV. Ancient authorities in translation. Plutarch’s _Roman Lives_ may be read with advantage in any translation, _e.g._ that of Langhorne. The most valuable lives are those of Cato the Elder, Æmilius Paullus, the two Gracchi, Marius and Sulla, Pompey and Cæsar, Brutus and Antony. There is a translation of the whole _Correspondence of Cicero with his Friends_, by E. S. Shuckburgh, published by Bell & Sons.
[1]The best known of these, and perhaps the most beautiful, is that of Coriolanus, which has descended from Plutarch to Shakespeare, and so become immortal.
[2]The Latin words which expressed these two mutual rights, _commercium_ and _connubium_, are still in use in various forms in the languages of modern Europe.
[3]The Latin word is _fauces_, i.e. jaws, etymologically the same word as the _hause_ of our Lakeland, which means a narrow pass.

[5]With the exception of the southern Samnites, who joined Hannibal after Cannæ.
[6]This was Fabius Maximus, who has given his name to the familiar phrase, “Fabian tactics.”
[8]Plutarch’s _Lives of Cato the Elder and Æmilius Paullus_, which can be read in a translation, will give examples of this better type of education.
[9]In Plutarch’s _Life_ of him, especially chaps, v. and vi., where Plutarch is plainly reproducing the evidence of an eyewitness.
[10]He came of an old Roman patrician family.
[16]Dill, _Roman Society in the Last Century of the Western Empire_, 1st edn., p. 163.
[17]This is the title by which the _princeps_ was usually known in the Empire; see _e.g._ Matt. xxii. 17 foll., or Acts xxv. 10 foll.
