With a new foreword by Tim Cornell 'Can anyone be so indifferent or
idle as not to care to know by what means and under what kind of
polity almost the whole inhabited world was conquered and bought
under the dominion of a single city of Rome?' - Polybius, Greek
Historian The city of Rome created the foundations of an empire
that would come to challenge and conquer the great civilizations of
Europe and the Near East. H.H. Scullard's definitive and highly
acclaimed study reveals the peculiar genius of the Roman people,
their predilection for law and order and their powers of
organization and administration, all of which created a
confederation the like of which the Greek World had never seen. He
explores the political, military, economic and social history of
this incredible empire, showing how the Romans realized an
ecumenical ideal and embraced Western Civilization within one
political system. Celebrated for its political and military
victories as well as its incredible feats of engineering,
literature and art. Scullard charts the foundation of Rome, the
establishment of the Republic, and its spectacular rise until the
fall of Carthage. Scullard not only explores the accomplishments of
the empire but vividly delves into the corruptive foreign
influences which began to undermine the moral qualities of Rome,
when lust for power superseded the desire for law and order. A
superb overview of this charged historical epoch, A History of the
Roman World takes us inside the pivotal events and struggles which
have heavily influenced modern western civilizations.
