From aqueducts to baths, from gladiators to emperors, the
fascinating history and mythology of ancient Rome are brought to
life in this entertaining and highly-readable guide. With their
sophisticated army, monuments, and roads, the Romans literally
paved the way to modern Europe. Learn about the hand-to-hand combat
at gladiatorial shows, rediscover the myths and legends of the
Roman gods, and find out how and why Rome became the conquering
superpower that it did. History will come to life in this engaging
and comprehensive introduction to one of the most fascinating and
influential places the world has ever known. A map of the Roman
Empire and a timeline with the accomplishments of the emperors
illustrate the chapters on geography and history. Roman culture,
the gods and religious festivals, and mythology including Virgil's
Aeneid, Romulus, and Remus are all discussed. Daily life in ancient
Greece is covered for all different levels in society, including
the jobs, family life, and leisure activities. The transition from
republic to dictatorship is an important part of the discussion of
politics, and the section on learning and knowledge covers law,
science, architecture, literature, and art. Important wars, the
Empire, and the army and navy are all explored. Finally, a look at
contemporary Rome includes temples, archaeology, and modern tourist
sites.
