Telling tales on Caesar : Roman stories from Phaedrus
"This book presents a dozen entertaining short stories, in easy-going classical Latin, together with new translations and discussion by John Henderson. Their author, Phaedrus, was a freedman of Augustus who turned Aesop's Fables into verse in the reign of Tiberius; along with them, he included a string of tales and anecdotes set in Rome, the Greek past, or everyday ancient life. These stories take their reader straight to the heart of Rome under its first emperors, and they poke into odd and unexpected corners of classical culture
