Small Roman Studies

By Thomas Schiffer

Rome dominated the world. For centuries, the Roman Empire was the measure of all things; it left its legacy and many traces in its ancestral and conquered regions. How could one city subjugate most of the previously known world? What structures did its system of government have? What culture did it spread?

In an optimal overview, you'll discover everything you need to get started in the Roman world: its history and politics, 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. It comes with maps, a glossary, a small personal encyclopedia, and an index of sites that includes the most important buildings.

In addition to the content expertise, 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 publisher, following the highly acclaimed Roman Roads through the Eifel and Roman Germania. He works as an independent exhibition organizer and museum educator on cultural-historical topics.
