The Roman Empire is one of the most famous civilisations in
history, and with good cause. Over a period spanning nearly 1,000
years, the Romans came, saw and conquered land after land. This
book looks at Roman history from the foundation to collapse of the
empire, covering famous Romans, famous events and some of the more
bizarre moments of ancient history. Among the historic figures
featured are Julius Caesar, Spartacus and Nero. The great tales of
these giants of history are told through facts about battles,
uncontrolled decadence and the power-plays between emperors.
However, there are also some more unexpected stories. The Romans,
for example, couldn't decide on the foundation story of Rome. The
tale of Romulus and Remus was used for centuries, but a completely
contradictory story appeared in the first century AD claiming the
Romans were actually refugees from Troy. Jem Duducu condenses the
colossal story of the Romans into 100 accessible facts in this fun
introduction to the Roman Empire.
