Small Roman Studies

By Thomas Schiffer

Rome dominated the world. For centuries the Roman Empire was the measure of all things; they left their heritage and many traces in their ancestral and conquered areas. How could one city subjugate most of the previously known world, what structures did their system of government have, what culture did they spread?

In an optimal overview, you will discover everything you need to get started in the Roman world, its history and politics, its culture and customs. Why were the Roman legions so often victorious? What was the Senate? Who were the Roman builders? How many slaves were there, who were the real gladiators? Which gods did the Romans worship and where are the most famous temples? Question after question arises, and this book provides you with answer after answer. With maps, glossary, small personal encyclopedia and index of places including the most important buildings.

In addition to the expertise in content, another great strength of this book is that most of the more than 100 illustrations, which were created with great effort, are published here for the first time in a recent book.

With this book, Cologne-based author Thomas Schiffer (*1972) presents his third work with this publishing house, after Roman Roads through the Eifel, which attracted great attention, and Roman Germania. He works as an independent exhibition organiser and museum educator on cultural-historical topics.
