The world of the Roman Republic and Empire is still very much with
us, alive and a key companion as we negotiate the trials and
tribulations of modern life. We don't just walk in the footsteps of
Romans great and small; we walk side by side with them. At its
height in the second century AD the Roman Empire stretched across
three continents, from Hadrian's Wall in the far north-west to the
bustling port cities on the Red Sea, but its influence spread even
further afield, with its legacy lasting to this day. In The Legacy
of Rome, acclaimed historian Dr Simon Elliott sets off on a grand
tour of the whole empire, reviewing each region in turn to show how
the experience of being part of the Roman world still has a
dramatic impact on our lives today. From wild Britannia, where the
legacy of conquest still influences relationships with the
Continent; to western Europe, where the language, church and even
law can be traced back to antiquity; to schisms and war across
central Europe and the Middle East that are directly rooted in the
world of Rome - the result is a fascinating exploration of the
reach of Rome beyond its borders and through time.
