Rome in the archaic age was a minor satellite between the Etruscan
and Greek world. This book traces the expansion of Roman influence
first within Italy, then around the Mediterranean world and
finally, at breakneck speed, deep into Europe, out to the Atlantic,
along the edge of the Sahara and down the Red Sea. But there had
been other empires that had expanded rapidily: what made Rome
remarkable was that it managed to sustain its position for so long.
Rome's Fall poses less of a mystery than its survival.
Understanding how this happens involves understanding the building
blocks of imperial society -- slavery, cities, the economy -- and
also the chaotic narrative of growth, civil war, stability, near
disaster and then a managed downsizing. Rome. An empire's story
tells the story of Rome in chapters that alternate with examination
of key features of Roman society. This new edition is based on the
very latest research, including studies of climate change and
ecology, and deals at greater length than the first edition did
with the later Roman empire, and with the material culture of
empire.
