Synopsis
Begin your journey into ancient Rome and how a small city shaped the world.
This accessible history explains where Rome started, who the early peoples were, and how a little city grew into a vast empire.
The book lays out Italy’s geography, the Latins, Sabines, and other Sabellian groups, and shows how Rome’s neighbors influenced its story. It also examines social and political changes, such as the rise of slavery, debates over citizenship, and the shifting power of the Senate and popular assemblies. Along the way, you’ll see how Greek culture and local traditions mixed to shape Roman life, law, and leadership. The author draws on maps, timelines, and vivid scenes to connect past events with the world today, while offering a clear frame for later chapters in the history of Rome.
- How Rome grew from a city to a dominion over Italy
