Auke de Haan: The History of Ancient Rome, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Ancient Rome is one of the most studied civilizations in history, and for good reason: the Roman world shaped law, language, governance, architecture, and religion across most of the Western world for two thousand years and beyond. This book provides a clear chronological account of Roman history from the legendary founding of the city through the Republic, the Empire, and the eventual fall of the Western Roman state.

Covering the key events, emperors, wars, and social developments of Roman history, the book gives attention to both the political story and the daily life of ordinary Romans, as well as the gradual transformation of the empire through Christianity and the pressures that eventually fractured and ended it. It is written for general readers who want a reliable and accessible single-volume history of one of the ancient world's most consequential civilizations.
