History of Rome

Name/Title

History of Rome

Description

From a small Iron-Age settlement on the banks of the river Tiber, Rome grew to become the center of an empire that dominated almost the whole of the then known western world. Powerful in war, Rome was magnificent in peace so that even today her poets, artists, philosophers and historians continue to exert their influence over western thought and civilization. In this, his most ambitious and comprehensive book to date, Micheal Grant recreates the evolution of this astonishing city and community, describing in detail the individual and events that made conqueror and defining the circumstances of her eventual 'decline and fall'.
