The legacy of Ancient Rome shapes the world we inhabit today. The
history of Rome - as a tiny primitive kingdom, as an ever-growing
republic, as a world-ruling empire dominating the known world - is
still influential. The first half of this book focuses on the
political and military history of Rome. The assassination of Julius
Caesar, Nero fiddling while Rome burns, the building of Hadrian's
Wall - the truth behind these and many other events are revealed in
this account of the rise and fall of a mighty empire. The second
part of the book focuses on Rome's influence on the development of
world art, architecture and society. Detailed drawings of the
Colosseum and other World Heritage buildings reveal Roman
techniques and architectural styles. Ancient letters, records and
artworks are used to show how real people lived and worked during
one of the cultural peaks of world history. With its magnificent
combination of photographs, plans and illustrations, and an
authoritative and absorbing text, this is the perfect reference
guide for any student of history, archaeology and the classical
world. It will provide inspiration for anyone planning to visit
Italy or other sites in the once-great Roman Empire.
