These reviews discuss style and structure, key ideas, some of the content, strengths, and any problematic aspects of the works, and include my recommendations for readers. This review focuses on the new set of selections by Seneca, titled "How To Die: An Ancient Guide To The End Of Life", translated and edited by James S. Romm (Princeton University Press: 2017). The review discusses the style and structure, the key ideas, some of the content, strengths of the work, some problematic aspects, and my recommendations for readers.
