The History of Rome and its Empire is the greatest success story in world history. At the height of their power, the Romans ruled a gigantic empire. And they have had a decisive influence on our world: we draw on the Roman heritage every day, and for the most part, unconsciously. This volume traces the history of Rome from its humble beginnings on the Tiber to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, while also giving us an introduction to daily life and culture in the Roman Empire. Based on the latest historical and archaeological research, the author offers a comprehensive overview of ancient Rome, thus creating the basis for understanding the history and culture of Europe.
