How to Make a Home presents some of the best Roman writings on houses?from buying and selling to designing and decorating.Edited and elegantly translated by Marden Fitzpatrick Nichols, How to Make a Home gathers selections by Cicero, Vitruvius, Seneca, and others, with the original Latin or Greek on facing pages.
