Rome - An Empire's Story

Rome. A Empire's Story traces a millennium and a half of Roman history from the first Iron Age settlements around the Tiber bend to the Arab Invasions that shattered the unity of the Mediterranean World. In chapters that alternate narrative and thematic discussions it presents the most recent research on topics from slavery to environmental change. The first edition was successful in classrooms and for general readers. This second edition is completely revised and updated and includes expanded discussions of material culture and late antiquity.
