Excerpt from The Legacy of Rome
This book is an endeavour to trace in many fields the extent of the inheritance which the modern world owes to Ancient Rome. The chapters have been written independently, and it will be seen that they are not all on the same plan. Some writers have described the contribution of Rome to civilization, and have left it to the reader to infer the extent of the legacy: others have traced the steps by which the legacy has come to us, and to this subject Professor Foligno has devoted a valuable chapter.
The editor's thanks are due to all the contributors, especially to Mr. Asquith, who found time to write an Introduction to the volume. Also to Mr. Angus Davidson for his assistance in translating Professor Giovannoni's chapter, and to Professor R. S. Conway for the two photographs portrating the probable site of Virgil's farm.
