History of World Civilizations: Caesar and Christ
About This Novel
The demise of a great civilized country is often not caused by external forces, but by internal corrosion. The Roman Empire created by Caesar brought order, prosperity and peace to the Mediterranean world for about two hundred years. For two centuries it resisted barbarian invasions and broadcast its classical cultural heritage across the West. The growth of Christianity is not so much the cause of the decline of the Roman Empire as it is the result of the decline of the Roman Empire. The victory of Christ is the destruction of Rome. However, the fact is not that simple. When Christianity conquered Rome, the captured Rome captured its conquerors, and the political power and governance were transferred from the overthrown empire to the powerful pope.
