en-wikipedia-org-6061		Michael Grant (classicist) - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	2226	276	62	Michael Grant CBE (21 November 1914 – 4 October 2004) was an English classicist, numismatist, and author of numerous books on ancient history.[1] His 1956 translation of Tacitus's Annals of Imperial Rome remains a standard of the work. According to his obituary in The Times he was "one of the few classical historians to win respect from [both] academics and a lay readership".[2] Immensely prolific, he wrote and edited more than 70 books of nonfiction and translation, covering topics from Roman coinage and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius to the Gospels. He produced general surveys of ancient Greek, Roman and Israelite history as well as biographies of giants such as Julius Caesar, Herod the Great, Cleopatra, Nero, Jesus, St. Peter and St. Paul.[3] Roman History from Coins (1958; Rev ed, 1968, Cambridge University Press) Roman Literature (1954; Rev. eds., 1958/1964); Cambridge University Press	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6061.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6061.txt
