Chang'an and Rome: a Tale of Two Cities in the Eastern and Western Empires of Eurasia in the Third Century Bc
by Zhou Fanwen
About This Novel
When human history developed to more than 2,000 years ago, the Qin and Han empires that emerged at both ends of the Eurasian continent and the Roman Empire complemented each other in the east and west, forming a rich and colorful chapter in the world civilization system. This book takes the capital as a cross-section to get a glimpse of the grandeur of the two empires, and displays the political, economic, military, cultural, religious and social life of the two empires at that time in a staggered manner. The name Chang'an embodies the good wishes of long-lasting peace. The name of Rome is said to come from the name of the city's founder, Romulus. It is unknown whether this is accurate. However, a very interesting coincidence is that it is the backward reading of the Latin word "amor" (love). Its reputation as the "Eternal City" continues the everlasting love in the world.
