No other political entity has shaped the modern world like the
Roman Empire. Encompassing close to a quarter of the world's
population and 3 million km2 of land, it represented a diverse and
dynamic collection of nations, states and tribes, all bound to Rome
and the ideal of a Roman identity. In the lively and engaging style
that he's known for, Philip Matyszak traces the history of the
Roman Empire from the fall of the Assyrians and the rise of the
Roman Republic through to the ages of expansion, crisis and
eventual split. Breathing new life into these extraordinary events,
Matyszak explains how the empire operated, deploying its incredibly
military machine to conquer vast territory then naturalizing its
subject peoples as citizens of Rome. It was a method of rule so
sophisticated that loyalty to Rome remained strong even afters its
collapse creating an expansive legacy that continues to this day.
