Inhaltsangabe

"Rome has grown since its humble beginnings that it is now overwhelmed by its own greatness." -Titus Livius (59 BC - 17 AD) Ancient Rome began as a small city in central Italy. Over time it grew into one of the greatest empires the world had ever seen, dominating the Mediterranean and shaping the course of Western civilization. This engaging historical survey traces the story of Rome from its earliest beginnings to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. The rise of the Republic, the dramatic struggle with Carthage, the careers of powerful leaders, and the age of the emperors reveal the extraordinary expansion and transformation of Roman power. Written with clarity and rich historical detail, the book reads like a compact encyclopedia of Roman history. A clear chronology guides the reader through the major events, figures, and turning points that defined the Roman world. The legacy of Rome still surrounds us today. Systems of law and government, architecture, literature, and language all bear the imprint of Roman civilization. Presented in a comfortable large print edition, this volume offers an accessible and rewarding introduction to Ancient Rome for students, history enthusiasts, and readers who appreciate an easier reading experience.
