Wiseman T.P. Unwritten Rome

Exeter: University of Exeter Press, 2008. — X, 366 p.In Unwritten Rome, T.P. Wiseman continues to rethink the history of Rome and Roman literature. He presents us with an imaginative and appealing
picture of the early society of pre-literary Rome — as a free and uninhibited world in which the arts and popular entertainments flourished. His original angle allows the voice of the Roman people to be retrieved from contemporary artefacts and figured monuments, and from selected passages of later literature.
