The History of Rome, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical trajectory of two rival cities, Carthage and Rome. The author traces their respective rises to prominence, the conflicts that arose between them, and the ultimate factors that decided each empire's fate. In detailing their political structures, economic development, and the impact of geography, the book shows how seemingly small differences in each civilization's development contributed to their ultimate outcomes. The author argues that the Carthaginians, though certainly capable and efficient, were doomed by their social structure from competing long-term with Rome. The author concludes that Rome's political and social cohesion, as well as her more homogenous population, allowed her to unite the Italian peninsula under one rule while Carthage ultimately failed to unify North Africa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
