The Roman Way was the author’s second book, providing contrasts between ancient Rome and present-day life. Hamilton describes life as it existed according to ancient Roman poets such as Plautus, Virgil and Juvenal, interprets Roman thought and manners, and compares them to people’s lives in the twentieth century. She also suggests how Roman ideas can be applied to the modern world.
