Ancient Rome (Full Color Illustration) (Illustrations of the World·world History Series)

"Ancient Rome (Full Color Illustration)" takes you to the map of ancient Europe. At the junction of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, around the Mediterranean Sea, there is a powerful country: ancient Rome. Speaking of ancient Rome, the first thing people think of is its unparalleled martial arts. For 500 years, this small country on the banks of the Tiber River used an invincible army to conquer the east and west, gradually conquering surrounding areas and establishing an unprecedented and huge empire. As Edgar Allan Poe said in his poem: "Glory belongs to Greece, greatness belongs to Rome." The influence of ancient Rome has been influenced by its lasting penetrating power to this day. As the saying goes, success or failure is fickle, but achievements are the opposite. The Roman Empire, which was once tyrannical for a while, eventually disappeared from the European map like light smoke due to internal arrogance and licentiousness and external attacks from Western barbarians and Huns. Only the ruins of the ruins that have gone through many vicissitudes of life are left standing proudly in the wind, telling people about the past glory of this old empire.
