Don’t forget the Picture Study! A Plutarch Picture Study: The Life of Romulus

Just as Charlotte used specially edited school editions that removed unsuitable content for students, Plutarch’s text for the Life of Romulus has been edited for length and content. You can feel comfortable handing it over to your student for independent use. 

All books in The Annotated Plutarch Series use the translation by George Long and Aubrey Stewart. We feel that the translation by Long and Stewart is not only more accurate, it is also easier and more accessible for today’s students.
