Description
The Roman Empire was forged in war and defended by military might. It also endured because of the Romans' ability to assimilate and pacify the different peoples and cultures within their provinces. This comprehensive history tells the story of Rome's empire in three parts, from its early years as a kingdom and republic to the imperial government and later empire. The Roman approach to governance varied across provinces, with some territories benefiting from alliances and others being won through military conquest or diplomacy. As the empire expanded, it attracted immigrants seeking new opportunities, who would eventually become the workers and soldiers of the Roman Empire. The Romans' ability to adapt and incorporate diverse cultures played a significant role in their success, as they equated native gods with Roman ones and allowed many languages and customs to continue under Roman rule.
