Description
The Roman Empire: A History of Power and Decline This engaging history of the Roman Empire spans over 400 years, from its establishment in 27 BC to its fall in AD 476. Drawing on a range of sources, including ancient texts and recent archaeological discoveries, Stephen P. Kershaw explores the empire's most significant events and figures, including the conquest of Britain and the establishment of a new capital at Constantinople. From the lives of extraordinary individuals like Caligula and Nero, to the brutal realities of life as a gladiator or slave, Kershaw sheds light on the complexities and contradictions of the Roman world. He examines the seismic events that shaped the empire's destiny, and how its legacy continues to influence our world today. Through its fascinating stories and insightful analysis, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most enduring and influential civilizations.
