A short and comprehensive political and military history of ancient
Rome, from the origins of the city in the Italian Iron Age, until
the deposition of the last emperor in 476 AD. Outlining Rome's
absorption of the Italian peninsula, Christopher Mackay explains
how this conquest provided the Romans with the man power that
allowed them to conquer the Mediterranean in a mere half-century.
Mackay details how the military responsibilities of empire
undermined the political institutions of the Republic and how the
Imperial adoption of Christianity as the state religion, as well as
the military and economic pressures of the third and fourth
centuries, eventually led to the downfall of the western empire
through invasion. Illustrated with the relevant art works from
Rome's long history, this volume will serve as a timely and up to
date overview of one of the most extraordinary civilizations of
human history.
