Basil Kennett was a 17th-century English chaplain much better known for his academic scholarship. In 1696, Kennett first published his book ‘Antiquities of Rome’, a work which became the standard on the history of Rome during its time. While other books on the history of Rome were certainly available, this work was written in a way of encouraging the study of classical philosophy and history, more so than just reiterating historical facts. This 1701 edition contains Kennett’s two essays which, according to the title page, concern “the Roman learning and the Roman Education”.

 

Notable topics found in this work include:

  • On Roman Art of war: arms and weapons, soldier exercises; of the Evocarti
  • On gladiators, entertainment events
  • Extensive discussion on Roman government, Senate;
  • Roman mythology and religious practices
  • Roman architecture, buildings, structures, development of design
