    Dr Jerry Toner is Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at Churchill College, Cambridge.

    My research looks at Roman social and cultural history, with a focus on trying to look at history 'from below'. I have a number of favourite areas:

    1. Popular Culture

    My book, Popular Culture in Ancient Rome, analyses the life of the non-elite in Roman society and built on the work I started in my PhD, later published as Leisure and Ancient Rome. I am currently working on a number of projects looking at non-elite Roman social relations. I am also teaching a course in the Classics Faculty with Mary Beard entitled "Popular Culture in the Roman Empire".

    2. The (mis-)use of Classics to create various imagery and stereotypes relating to subordinate groups

    My book Homer's Turk: How Classics Shaped Ideas of the East shows how historians and travel writers have used classical sources to help create various images of Islam and the Orient.

    3. Roman Disasters

    My latest book, Roman Disasters, looks at the important role that disasters played in Roman life and culture, ranging from floods and fires to warfare and famine.

    4. The Senses in Roman history

    I started looking at this in a chapter of my popular culture book, "Common Scents, Common Senses", trying to see how different a sensory world the non-elite inhabited. I am now editing a book on the Cultural History of the Senses in Antiquity which looks at the senses from a wider perspective. I am also contributing a chapter on "Smell and Christianity" to a volume edited by Mark Bradley on Smell in Antiquity.

    5. Mental Health

    I think the Roman non-elite as a whole had a lot of mental health issues but faced and expressed them in a completely different way from the modern world. A chapter of my Popular Culture book looked at this, while a chapter of the Disasters book looks at the psychological effect of these traumatic events. I have also contributed a chapter based on this to William Harris' edited book on Mental Disorders in the Classical World.

    After completing my PhD in Classics at Cambridge, I spent 10 years as a Fund Manager in the City of London before escaping back to academic life in 2006.

    5.0 out of 5 stars These books are absolutely fantastic! I have one for German
    Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    These books are absolutely fantastic! I have one for German, French, Latin, and Classic Greek and I can honestly say that they are truly invaluable for all those who are serious about learning the language. Yes, there are some occasional errors that someone should have picked up on (a few words here and there that aren't translated as properly as they could be), but I challenge anyone to find a book--not to mention one this affordable--that will lay out the most common words (in order of frequency), fantastically and logically organized into sections of around 20 per section--thus setting the stage to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in the least amount of time--that can even come close to these. Again, a must for all those serious about language (and not so serious as well).

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Good List
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2006
    This book provides a list of the most common two thousand words in Classical Latin. As such, it is a most welcome addition to the corpus of Latin learning materials. I am presently making a set of flashcards using Dr Toner's list. I have found that the book's format could be improved. For example, the entry for 'pax' reads:

    pax f. peace

    The following format might be more useful to the learner:

    pax

    pax, pacis (3f.) peace

    5.0 out of 5 stars “Latin Key Words”
    Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    ‘Key Words’ is a vocabulary book.
    It provides information about what part of speech a Latin word is, e.g., noun, adjective, etc., but not for all the words listed.
    The book doesn’t contain instructions regarding verb conjugation, pronunciation and grammar.
    It has two indexes, English and Latin, to locate a particular word within the book.
    I would not recommend this book for beginners. It’s more of a reference book for those who are already somewhat familiar with the language. (140 pages)

    5.0 out of 5 stars A long-needed and excellent resource
    Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    This is an excellent book. Long troubled in how to expand my Latin vocabulary, and exposed to frequency based lists in Biblical Greek and Hebrew, I was delighted to find this volume. It goes a long way to aiding the Latin student in expanding their vocabulary.

    There are a few problems with this book. A few of the glosses are just a little too basic, particularly on words with several distinct meanings. There are also a number of typographical errors in the book, and genitive endings are not given for words.

    Overall though, an excellent book.
