Rome In The Ancient World (Relié)

Colour maps open each of the seven chapters, showing the shifting extent of the Roman Empire, from its founding to the beginning of the Medieval period. Family trees of the Julio-Claudian, Severan and Constantinian dynasties help in navigating some of the most influential dynasties of ancient Rome. Extracts from primary texts, including Cicero on Caesar ; The Exposure of the Catilinarian Conspiracy, The Historia Augusta and Marcus Aurelius on Being a Good Emperor, help in understanding the Romans in their own words.
Full colour design with over 220 images helps to illustrate how Roman art and architecture is closely linked to its history and legacy.
