In 264 BC, a Roman army was poised to cross from southern Italy
into Sicily. They couldn't know that this crossing would be Rome's
first step on its journey from local republic to vast and powerful
empire. At the beginning of the three dramatic centuries that make
up this book's narrative, Rome had no emperor and limited global
influence; by the book's end, Hadrian was set to pass into history
as one of the greatest emperors, whose territories stretched from
England to Turkey. In David Potter's masterful history of this
period, we trace the process of cultural, political and civic
transformation which led to the creation of a monarchy and the
acquisition of territory, via wars with Hannibal, the destruction
of Carthage, Augustan Empire-building and Hadrian's famous wall,
all of which contributed to the most successful multi-cultural
state in the history of Europe. This is a lively, scholarly
approach to an essential era.
