Description
A comprehensive history of Rome from its founding to Justinian's rule offers a unique perspective on the Roman civilization. Thomas R. Martin's account weaves together social, political, religious, and cultural history to interpret the successes and failures of the Romans in war, politics, personal status, and government. By examining fundamental Roman values as a lens through which to view their rise and fall, Martin provides insight into the central role of social and moral values in determining individual conduct and state decisions. This masterful account is supported by frequent references to ancient texts and authors, encouraging readers to return to the primary sources. This book provides a concise and accessible history of Rome, from its humble beginnings to its dominance of the Mediterranean world.
