| Description: |
This history of Rome covers the period 133 BC to AD 217, when the Empire was at an unequalled level of power. It discusses both the strengths and weaknesses of the Empire, assuming in the reader no special knowledge of ancient languages or history. |
| Synopsis: |
Grant is "justly recognised as an expert and civilized guide to the ancient world."--"The Economist." The Romans changed the Western world and theirs became the first golden age. This is their empire of magnificence and corruption; the republic, the dictators and the slaves; the civilization and the Pax Romana, the brutality and the collapse. |
