Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The World of Rome is an introduction to the history and culture of Rome for students at university and at school as well as for anyone seriously interested in the ancient world. Drawing on the latest scholarship, it covers all aspects of the city - its rise to power, what made it great, and why it still engages and challenges us today. The first two chapters outline the history and changing identity of Rome from 1000 BC to AD 476. Subsequent chapters examine the mechanisms of government, the economic and social life of Rome, and Roman ways of looking at and reflecting the world. Frequent quotations from ancient writers and numerous illustrations make this a stimulating and accessible introduction to ancient Rome. The World of Rome is particularly designed to serve as a background book to Reading Latin (Cambridge University Press, 1986). This book opens with two chapters outlining the history and identity of Rome 1000 BC-AD 476. Subsequent chapters examine how Rome was governed, economic and social life, and Roman attitudes towards the rest of the world as reflected in the arts. An introduction to the Roman world.
