Synopsis

This book examines the Roman Empire's Punic Wars as well as the conflicts with Macedonia. It discusses the role of Africanus and other generals in expanding the Empire, how these conquests affected Roman society, and the consequences for many nations impacted by Roman ambition. The author provides depth of insight into the increasingly corrupt and violent nature of Rome's expansion. The history is rich with cautionary lessons about the dangerous outcomes when ambition conquers morality and when greed supersedes democratic ideals.
