The Romans: An Introduction, 3rd edition engages students in the
study of ancient Rome by exploring specific historical events and
examining the evidence. This focus enables students not only to
learn history and culture but also to understand how we recreate
this picture of Roman life. The thematic threads of individuals and
events (political, social, legal, military conflicts) are
considered and reconsidered in each chapter, providing continuity
and illustrating how political, social, and legal norms change over
time. This new edition contains extensive updated and revised
material designed to evoke the themes and debates which resonate in
both the ancient and modern worlds: class struggles, imperialism,
constitutional power (checks & balances), the role of the
family, slavery, urbanisation, and religious tolerance. Robust case
studies with modern parallels push students to interpret and
analyze historical events and serve as jumping off points for
multifaceted discussion. New features include: Increased emphasis
on developing skills in interpretation and analysis which can be
used across all disciplines. Expanded historical coverage of
Republican history and the Legacy of Rome. An expanded introduction
to the ancient source materials, as well as a more focused and
analytical approach to the evidence, which are designed to engage
the reader further in his/her interaction and interpretation of the
material. A dedicated focus on specific events in history that are
revisited throughout the book that fosters a richer, more in-depth
understanding of key events. New maps and a greater variety of
illustrations have been added, as well as updated reading lists. A
further appendix on Roman nomenclature and brief descriptions of
Roman authors has also been provided. The book's successful website
has been updated with additional resources and images, including
on-site videos from ancient sites and case studies which provide
closer "tutorial" style treatment of specific topics and types of
evidence. Those with an interest in classical language and
literature, ancient history, Roman art, political and economic
systems, or the concept of civilization as a whole, will gain a
greater understanding of both the Romans and the model of a
civilization that has shaped so many cultures.
