Written in the mid-19th century this engaging text combines satirical illustrations and witty prose offering a playful yet incisive commentary on the complexities of Roman politics societal norms and cultural achievements. À Beckett's style echoes the traditions of comedic literature of his time drawing parallels between the farcical elements of ancient Rome and the contemporary Victorian era thereby inviting readers to reflect on the cyclical nature of history and human behavior."<br /><br />Condition:<br />Rubbing to the leather along the edges of the spine. The leather has chipped at the bottom two cover corner tips. Bright gilt on the spine and at the top edge of the text block. Tight binding with no cracks and no loose pages.
