In this revised and expanded edition of Ancient Rome, author Paul
A. Zoch presents the history and mythology of Rome, from its
legendary progenitor Aeneas to the death of the philosopher-emperor
Marcus Aurelius in 180 c.e. Zoch guides readers through the
military campaigns and political developments that shaped Rome's
rise from a small Italian city to the greatest imperial power the
world had ever known, and he includes stories about its
protagonists - such as Romulus and Remus, Horatius, and Nero - that
are often omitted from more specialized studies. In Zoch's
retelling, the events and personalities of ancient Rome spring to
life. We witness the long struggle against the enemy city of
Carthage. We follow Caesar as he campaigns in Britain, and we
observe the ebb and flow of Rome's fortunes in the Hellenistic
East. Emphasizing both the political and moral lessons to be
learned from Roman history - and that remain relevant today - Zoch
gives readers a narrative that is both entertaining and
informative. An afterword takes the history to the fall of the
Roman Empire in the West in 476 c.e.
