A wide-ranging survey of the history of the Roman Empire--from its
establishment to decline and beyond Empire of the Romans, from
Julius Caesar to Justinian provides a sweeping historical survey of
the Roman empire. Uncommonly expansive in its chronological scope,
this unique two-volume text explores the time period encompassing
Julius Caesar's death in 44 BCE to the end of Justinian's reign six
centuries later. Internationally-recognized author and scholar of
Roman history John Matthews balances broad historical narrative
with discussions of important occurrences in their thematic
contexts. This integrative approach helps readers learn the
timeline of events, understand their significance, and consider
their historical sources. Defining the time period in a clear, yet
not overly restrictive manner, the text reflects contemporary
trends in the study of social, cultural, and literary themes.
Chapters examine key points in the development of the Roman Empire,
including the establishment of empire under Augustus, Pax Romana
and the Antonine Age, the reforms of Diocletian and Constantine,
and the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Discussions of the
Justinianic Age, the emergence of Byzantium, and the post-Roman
West help readers understand the later Roman world and its impact
on the subsequent history of Europe. Written to be used as
standalone resource or in conjunction with its companion Volume II:
Selective Anthology, this innovative textbook: Combines accessible
narrative exposition with thorough examination of historical source
material Provides well-rounded coverage of Roman economy, society,
law, and literary and philosophical culture Offers content taken
from the author's respected Roman Empire survey courses at Yale and
Oxford University Includes illustrations, maps and plans, and
chapter-by-chapter bibliographical essays Empire of the Romans,
from Julius Caesar to Justinian is a valuable text for survey
courses in Roman history as well as general readers interested in
the 600 year time frame of the empire.
