A Brief History of the Roman Empire

"A Brief History of the Roman Empire" How did ancient Rome develop from a small city to a super empire spanning three continents? How do its ruling elites manage the country under backward technical conditions and achieve political interaction between the capital and provinces? How do the modern British Empire, fascism during World War II and contemporary Hollywood view the rights and wrongs of the Roman Empire? This book takes the history of the Roman Empire in its heyday and the intricate political relations between the conquerors and the conquered as its weft. It not only displays the glorious achievements of the ancient Roman Empire, but also exposes the bloodshed and cruelty in its government and rule. It has both a microscopic description of the daily life of the ancient Roman people and a macroscopic analysis of the operating mechanism of the ancient Roman Empire. It is an excellent book that leads readers into the magical world of ancient Rome.
