Opinion seems to be growing among teachers of Roman history that the Empire should be more extensively studied in schools. The feeling was expressed by more than one speaker in a discussion held not so long ago by the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, and this ‘boom’ in the Empire is likely to be fostered by Robert Graves' I, Claudius and Claudius the God, and by Mr. Stevenson's text-book The Roman Empire—surely one of the first school text-books on this period.
