The history of ancient Rome is the history of a city, of its
people, and of its empire which at its height encompassed all the
lands around the Mediterranean Sea and which stretched from Britain
in the west to Syria in the east. Roman civilisation relied on the
wealth won in war and conquest and was dependent on slavery. While
much of Rome's history can be understood through the lives of its
emperors, even more can be learned from the lives of its ordinary
citizens and from the archaeological remains of the city, its
monuments, streets, temples, bars and houses. This wonderfully
illustrated, accessible introduction to ancient Rome examines the
myths about the founding of Rome and explores the city's bloody
transition from republic to empire. It looks at the lives of Rome's
most famous rulers and the tumultuous events which led to the end
of Roman civilisation. This book also explores the daily lives and
beliefs of the ordinary people of Rome, its citizens and slaves,
and the different peoples of the empire.
