The Silver Age of the Greek World 
By JOHN P. MAHAFFY 
Sometime Professor of Ancient History in the University of Dublin 
the students of ancient life and thought Professor Mahaffy’s scholarly little 
volumes on the history of Greek civilization need no introduction. One 
of these the University Press has already been privileged to publish—‘ The 
Progress of Hellenism in Alexander's Empire,” and another is shortly to appear. 
“The Silver Age of the Greek World” is a revised edition of “The Greek 
World under Roman Sway,” and covers the period from the Roman conquest 
to the accession of Hadrian, tracing the spread of Hellenism in Asia, Egypt, 
and Italy. To classicists the chapters on Cicero and Plutarch will be of especial 
merest, while general readers will be attracted by those that deal with religion 
and literature in the first century.
