Synopsis

"The Roman History, From The Building Of Rome To The Ruin Of The Commonwealth" by Nathaniel Hooke is a comprehensive reference work and alphabetized index covering Roman history and the Mediterranean world from mythic Rome to the early Empire. It presents a multi-volume survey that concentrates on people, places, wars and battles, laws and political offices, and religious practices, with an emphasis on governance, expansion, civil conflict, and the development of Roman law and society. The narrative framework across Volumes I–VI includes cross-references to chronological tables and biographies, detailing offices and magistracies, notable campaigns, provincial administration, and prominent figures such as Romulus and Remus, Cato, Caesar, Scipio, Pompey, Antony, and Octavian, among others. The work systematically catalogs political and military institutions, triumphs, and provincial commands, illustrating the evolution of Roman authority from the Republic through the transformation toward imperial rule. The excerpted material highlights Caesar’s rise, the African campaign and Utica aftermath, civil reforms and clemency, Spain campaigns, and the mechanisms of the late-Roman civil wars, proscriptions, and the nascent Triumvirate, set against a backdrop of public spectacle, legal reforms, and evolving governance.
