THE HISTORIANS READER is a selection from the most famous works written by the historians of the ancient Roman Empire. It is designed to complement Romans: The Historians, a unit in the Old Western Culture curriculum, and includes all the assigned readings in one volume! As with all units of Old Western Culture, students may purchase or use their own texts, use the free PDF edition of this text, or use the Kindle Edition from Amazon. This print edition reader was made as a convenience to students who prefer a physical edition of the works, but do not own and do not wish to purchase all the various texts.
