Gregory S. Bucher is an assistant professor of classical and Near Eastern studies at
Creighton University, in Omaha, Nebraska. The presence of a book-crazed toddler in his
household, coupled with the traditional liberal arts faculty member's duty to spread the good
news about one's discipline to a broader audience have led him to review several books about
the Roman World (his specialty) aimed at readers of various ages. He hopes to offer useful
advice to teachers looking for suitable texts about Roman civilization by suggesting books that
do a good job of bringing the ancient world alive and putting flesh on the bones of the too-often
dry archeological remains.
