Quotes by James Romm (?)

“Alexander’s top generals were about to tangle with one of history’s toughest teenage girls.”
― James Romm, Ghost on the Throne: The Death of Alexander the Great and the Bloody Fight for His Empire

6 likes

“Diogenes the Cynic was an ascetic by choice. He rejected his family's bourgeois status, got himself exiled from his native city, and went about in a threadbare cloak with only the barest possessions, a bag for his crust of bread and a cup for scooping water from fountains. When one day he saw a boy drinking from his hands, he smashed the cup, disgusted by his own love of luxury.”
― James Romm, Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero
