This is an excellent one volume history of Rome from the Etruscan beginnings, the Republic, Empire, and through the fall of the Western empire. Michael Grant was "one of the few classical historians to win respect from [both] academics and a lay readership"(The Times, 13 October 2004). Immensely prolific, he wrote and edited more than 70 books of nonfiction and translation, covering topics from Roman coinage and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius to the Gospels. This overview, while not comprehensive in detail, provides the general reader with the significant events and trends of Roman history. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
From a small Iron Age settlement on the banks of the Tiber, Rome grew to become the centre of an Empire that dominated the Western world. Powerful in war, Rome was magnificent in peace, so that even today her poets, artists, philosophers and historians exert their influence over Western thought and civilisation. Michael Grant, the renowned classical historian, recreates the evolution of this astonishing city and community. He describes the individuals and events that made Rome a political and cultural conqueror, and defines the dramatic circumstances of her eventual decline and fall.
