Publisher's Synopsis
History is one of the most important subjects to study. The best way to study history is from original sources. In the case of ancient Rome and Greece, Plutarch is the best original source, but it is hard to read. This translation into our modern English makes it possible for us to enjoy and glean from one of the books most studied in history. Agesilaus and Pompey are two men that will aid in our understanding of human nature, politics and democracy.
