Description
The Romans succeeded in less than 53 years in subjecting almost the whole inhabited world to their rule. This book tells the story of the rise of Rome from its origins as a cluster of villages to the foundation of the Roman Empire by Augustus and its consolidation in the first two centuries AD. An envoi discusses some aspects of the later Empire and its influence on western civilizations, not least through the adoption of Christianity.
