Items related to The Roman Empire
How did Ancient Roma develop into a super empire across three continents from a tiny city? How did those ruling elites govern the empire with backward technologies and realize the political interactions between the capital and provinces? What do the British Empire in modern time, the fascists in World War II and contemporary Hollywood comment on the merits and demerits of Ancient Roma Empire? This book, taking the history of Roma Empire in the prime as longitude and the intricate political relations between the conqueror and the conquered as latitude, not only displays the brilliant achievements of Ancient Roma Empire but also reveals the bloody and cruel process of its conquering and ruling, not only micro-descriptions of ancient Romans daily life but also macro-analyses on running mechanism of Ancient Roma Empire. This is a rare good reading leading readers to walk into amazing Ancient Roma world.
