Professor Greg Woolf
From its mythical foundation in 753 BC to its sack in the 5th century AD, the city of Rome had an impact on the global picture that it would be hard to overestimate. This new history, authored by a team of leading academics under an eminent historian, is divided into three main sections: the story of Rome, the city and the empire. It examines Rome’s sense of self, as well as her place in the wider world, and brings vivid new insights to a broad range of topics, taking the reader from Roman piety and philosophy to warfare, trade and the ultimate collapse of one of the most extraordinary empires in history.
