Synopsis

Rome continues to influence our daily lives more than 1500 years after the formal end of the Roman Empire. The republican, Celtic and hellenistic background to the Empire is examined in this book which also looks at the development of the imperial army and its deployment on the frontiers. Urban and rural life and society and the legal system which bound them together are considered, as are the varied religious beliefs of the great heterogenous mass of people which made up the population of the Empire. All the pictures have been chosen to illustrate the detailed points of the text.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When originally published in 1987, this book was hailed as a landmark in the study of the Roman World. Now back in print with a new preface by the author, it is still the most comprehensive survey of the Roman World available. Ranging from the founding of Rome in the eighth century BC, and throughout the Empire and beyond this book will continue to be an essential resource on the subject for many years to come.
