Or that 'infantry' stems from a Latin word meaning one who could not speak? In this original and highly entertaining book, Peter Jones reveals the roots of Latin words that are now common in the English language and shows how Romans actually used them in the ancient world. Covering every aspect of Roman life - from politics, philosophy, religion and the arts, to technology, warfare, medicine and botany - Quid Pro Quo highlights the vital role Latin has played in the creation of our vast vocabulary.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryBook Series: Classic CivilisationsTopic: Ancient History, Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
