Reading Roman Friendship
Williams, Craig A. (Brooklyn College, City University of New York)
This book explores the ways in which friendship was performed by Romans through readings of a wide range of literary texts - poems, novels and philosophical writings, letters both by emperors and by soldiers and commemorations on epitaphs commissioned by men, women, citizens and slaves. A richly varied and perhaps surprising picture emerges.
