Synopsis

A clear, continental view of Rome’s rise and endurance. This history traces Rome from its earliest years through the late Empire, weaving political drama, military campaigns, and social change into a coherent narrative.

Delving into the sources and methods behind our knowledge of early Rome, this edition explains how ancient annals, inscriptions, and later Roman writers shape what we know today. It also surveys Rome’s Mediterranean world, the Republic and its transformation, and the long arc into imperial rule, with attention to religion, culture, and administration.

• A comprehensive, chronicle‑driven look at Rome from foundation to 565 A.D.


• Accessible discussion of how historians reconstruct Rome’s early history from ancient sources.


• Extensive coverage of politics, war, society, and religion across the Republic and Empire.


• Maps, timelines, and a bibliography to support study and reference.

Ideal for readers of general history, students, and anyone seeking a thorough portrait of Rome across centuries.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from A History of Rome to 565 A. D

This sketch of the History of Rome to 565 A. D. is primarily intended to meet the needs of introductory college courses in Roman History. However, it is hoped that it may also prove of service as a handbook for students of Roman life and literature in general. It is with the latter in mind that I have added the bibliographical note. Naturally, within the brief limits of such a text, it was impossible to defend the point of view adopted on disputed points or to take notice of divergent opinions. Therefore, to show the great debt which I owe to the work of others, and to provide those interested in particular problems with some guide to more detailed study, I have given a list of selected references, which express, I believe, the prevailing views of modern scholarship upon the various phases of Roman History.

I wish to acknowledge my general indebtedness to Professor W. S. Ferguson of Harvard University for his guidance in my approach to the study of Roman History, and also my particular obligations to Professor W. L. Westermann of Cornell, and to my colleagues. Professors A. L. Cross and J. G. Winter, for reading portions of my manuscript and for much helpful criticism.
