From 1989 to 1994 I taught ancient history, Greece one year(478 to 404 BC), and Rome(133 BC to 14 AD) the next. It was a matriculation subject producing for my use several volumes of notes in the study of ancient Greece and ancient Rome. It was my first serious and extended exposure to classical civilization and it occurred at the time when the Mt. Carmel Project was in full swing.In the ten years since completing my teaching of these courses I have drawn on these notes and added to them from time to time. I now have ten large files of notes: this one on Roman authors.  The subject of classical civilization is of great interest to me particularly since there are obviously so many parallels and ideas that provide, at least for me, helpful perspectives for understanding the Baha?i Faith, its history and future.  Although I taught many subjects in the thirty years I was a teacher, classical history, literature and philosophy did not occupy a central place in my studies.  But after my retirement in 1999 they came to occupy an important, if not central, place in the many subjects that occupied my attention.There is a core here to build on and that is what I am doing 17 years after my formal history teaching came to an end in November 1994.  Except for the notes on Cicero and Sallust, virtually all the material here in this file has been added in the years 1995 to 2011.
