Description
Rome: An Empire's Story by Greg Woolf is a comprehensive history of the Roman Empire, spanning from the eighth century BCE to the dawn of the Middle Ages. This book explores how Rome expanded its influence across Italy, the Mediterranean, and Europe, and how it managed to sustain its position for so long. The Roman Empire's survival is a more intriguing question than its fall, and understanding the factors that contributed to its longevity involves examining the building blocks of imperial society, including slavery, cities, and the economy. This second edition of the book has been fully revised and updated to incorporate the latest developments in the field, with expanded chapters and a new thematic chapter that looks back from Constantinople to Rome. By tracing the expansion of Roman influence and examining key features of Roman society, Rome: An Empire's Story provides a detailed and nuanced account of the great ancient city.
