写给青少年的极简古罗马
Lu Kaili
On a clear night, when we look up at the starry night sky, we can see the Ursa Major and Ursa Minor circling above our heads, while Orion and his hounds are busy hunting... These randomly arranged stars carry the names of Roman gods and heroes, which makes people think of ancient Rome. In ancient Roman mythology, Romulus, the founder of ancient Rome, was a descendant of Venus, the god of love and beauty. From this point of view, ancient Rome can be said to be a country that came out of myth, but it eventually became ordinary. When Rome was first founded, it was just a small city. There were neither magnificent buildings nor wide roads. There were only a group of bachelors and bare hills around it. But it was such a small city that gradually developed into a world power spanning three continents: Asia, Africa, and Europe. This book describes in detail the entire history of Rome from ancient times to the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. It explains how Rome gradually transformed from a small country in a corner to a country spanning Europe, Asia and Africa and the reasons why. It also points out that Rome's growing strength already contains the seeds of its decline.
