Description
Rome: An Empire's Story by Greg Woolf is a comprehensive history of the Roman Empire, tracing its expansion from a minor satellite in the Etruscan and Greek world to a vast and influential power that shaped the world. The book explores the building blocks of imperial society, including slavery, cities, and the economy, as well as the chaotic narrative of growth, civil war, and stability. Woolf's narrative alternates between chapters on the great ancient city and examinations of key features of Roman society, providing a detailed and nuanced understanding of the empire's survival and fall. This second edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, with expanded chapters, a new thematic chapter, and a greater focus on material culture. By examining the Roman Empire's remarkable history, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex social, economic, and cultural factors that shaped this ancient power.
