So many myths and legends. So many senators and Caesars. So many
documents, archaeological finds, movie-made misconceptions, and
scholarly histories. With so much information available on the
civilization of ancient Rome, and more discoveries happening all
the time, where do you start? The Romans: New Perspectives is the
ideal starting point for investigating this extraordinary
civilization-its remarkable rise and decline, the scope of its
power and wealth, the details of everyday life for its people, and
its signature contributions to human culture (food, architecture,
government, public works, art, and more). The Romans takes readers
from the establishment of the monarchy (circa 753 BCE) through the
rise of the republic (circa 509 BCE), the imperial period, and
ultimately to the fall of the empire and the coronation of the
barbarian king Odoacer. It is an engaging account of current
thinking on Roman life and culture informed by a number of dramatic
recent discoveries. The book provides a coherent introduction to
the field, while pointing the way toward further reading on
specific topics and personalities. An extensive bibliography of all
major English-language resources (print, electronic, online) on
Roman civilization, along with lists of references for further
study concluding each chapter Dozens of photographs and drawings,
plus detailed maps of Rome and its empire as they evolved over time
