Description: Journey from a cluster of hillside settlements to the greatest power the ancient world had ever known. This sweeping history traces Rome's remarkable transformation, exploring the political machinery of the Republic, the disciplined legions that carved out an empire, and the epic struggles against Carthage and the Hellenistic kingdoms. Along the way, readers witness the internal fractures that tore the Republic apart and the masterful reinvention under Augustus that gave rise to imperial Rome at its dazzling height. A vivid and accessible chronicle of ambition, warfare, and civilization on an unprecedented scale.
