Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Distributed Proofreaders "The Common People of Ancient Rome" by Frank Frost Abbott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the lives, language, literature, and social conditions of the average Roman citizen, emphasizing their vital roles in shaping the Roman Empire. Abbott aims to bridge ancient Roman life with modern issues, exploring themes of social organization and the influence of language across time. The beginning of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the Latin language and its spread among the common people during the expansion of the Roman Empire. It discusses how Latin became the language of various territories through military conquests, trade, and colonization. Abbott highlights the rich linguistic diversity of Italy and its provinces and addresses the importance of social and official policies in promoting the use of Latin. This opening portion establishes Abbott's approach of connecting historical linguistic developments with broader social themes while invoking the lived experiences of the populace.
