This volume is 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 the 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.
