罗马帝国的兴盛与衰落（套装共3册）
(uk) Mary Beard (us) Kyle Harper
"The Roman Senate and the People: A History of Ancient Rome" is a brand-new history of Rome written by a world-class classicist who condensed more than 50 years of work. The author chooses the "Senate and People of Rome" (SPQR), the political hub of Rome, as the starting point. He cleverly and profoundly begins with the incident of Cicero versus Catiline in 63 BC, and passionately tells the story of Rome to readers. "Pompei: The Life and Death of a Roman City" The famous British classicist Mary Beard, author of the book, walked onto the streets of Pompeii. Like a tour guide, she led us to visit this city that was frozen in time and space by the ash of Vesuvius in the early Roman Empire. From houses, occupations, government, food and wine to sex, as well as bathing, entertainment and religion, all aspects of urban life at that time are reproduced from the outside to the inside in clear layers. The Fate of Rome: Climate, Disease, and the End of the Empire Kyle Harper combines a grand historical narrative with the most cutting-edge climate science and genetic research to show that the fate of the Roman Empire was determined not only by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians, but also by volcanic eruptions, solar cycles, unstable climate, and deadly viruses and bacteria. He recounts the story from the height of the Roman Empire in the second century to the fragmentation of the Byzantine Empire in the seventh century. Harper describes how the Romans recovered under enormous environmental pressures and faced crises again, until they could no longer withstand the blows of the "Little Ice Age" and recurring plague outbreaks.
