Description

It wasn't just heated floors, hot baths, aqueducts, and paved roads that the Romans did first and best, says classics scholar Charlotte Higgins; they were also experts at the art of love. From the most effective pickup lines to canny advice on getting over a breakup, from grooming tips to sex tips, the Romans had solutions that stand the test of time. Higgins' indispensable and often laugh-out-loud funny guide to love is a collection of the wittiest, most illuminating, and sensuous writing of Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Propertius, and Tibullus. "Who wouldn't want Ms. Higgins as their Latin mistress? From a deep acquaintance with both Roman poets ... and television soaps ... she has worked out 'how to get laid, Roman-style'."—Times (London)
