Cornelius Nepos was a Roman biographer who lived in the first century BC. His simple style of writing has made him a popular author for use in Latin classes at early school level. This book contains the Latin text of his lives of Alcibiades, Dion and Atticus, with a short historical introduction and illustrations.

This book includes an introduction, original text, student notes, vocabulary, and illustrations to the reader-friendly prose of Nepos.
