Roman scholar Varro and his treatise on the origin and relationships of Latin words, De Lingua Latina, is an intriguing, but often puzzling, fragmentary work for classicists. In this pioneering volume, Spencer provides a means to consider how ancient Romans saw themselves and how they talked about their world more thoroughly.
