"Colloquies, a Review of Civilization in Little Songs" in seven, pithy volumes, delightfully tells by portrait, anecdote, vignette, the history of Western Civilization, Greece, Rome, Europe, America, et alibi. Volume II, Commentary, introduces the reader to the colorful festivals, great events, and grand persons of Rome, the Republic, the Empire, the early, Christian Era. Composed in dramatic, verse dialogue, fashioned for the contemporary reader, Commentary teaches without lecture who once we were, who now we are, who tomorrow, we might become.
