We will undertake this investigation by looking at a variety of original sources translated into English. As we examine the texts of these authors, we will also think about how the ideas of ancient Romans have influenced cultures from Britain, France, and Spain in the West to the shores of North Africa to the civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean.
