Trade Review"Exceedingly accurate, clearly presented, and annotated with just the right amount of help . . . it answers better than any other text I've seen the perennial problem of how to do the transition from learning the basics of Latin to actually reading Latin texts."—Denis Feeney, Princeton University
"To the best of my knowledge, this is the only easy reader (suitable for a beginning to intermediate level Latin student) that presents a sustained story in authentic, unabridged Latin."—Margaret Brucia, Temple University, Rome Campus
"Eutropius writes in good, standard classical Latin . . . [His style] challenges the emerging Latin students without annihilating their confidence. . . . Beyer supplements the readings with generous notes, which deftly point out the way."—Dale Grote, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, from the preface
