This book is the second part of the seventh volume. It covers the period from the rise of Rome to the end of the Second Punic War. The complexity and controversy of this volume are mainly due to the particularity of the historical development during this period. It is mainly written from the social and religious aspects of Rome. The first part deals with the Romans and their history, with a broad examination of the Republic and its place in the Hellenistic world, and the rise of the Empire. The second part, on the culture of the empire, provides insightful analysis of a range of topics - from religious attitudes to the role of women, from trade to war.
