Review
'With 400 richly illustrated pages, it is the most up-to-date general introduction to Roman life, history and culture available.' Daily Telegraph
'Books entitled 'An introduction to ... ' can so easily fail, if only because of the wealth of material to be covered. As an introduction to the Roman world, this volume succeeds and should be essential reading.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'... stimulating and up-to-date ... I am sure many generations of students to come will have cause to be very grateful for the insight into the mindset of the Romans offered by this book.' JACT Review
Book Description
Following the same model as The World of Athens, this book opens with two chapters outlining the history and identity of Rome 1000 BC–AD 476. Subsequent chapters examine how Rome was governed (from Republic to Empire), economic and social life, and Roman attitudes towards the rest of the world as reflected in the arts. Written by experts in the field, beautifully illustrated and with copious sources, this is the essential introduction to the Roman world. It serves as a background to Reading Latin (CUP 1986).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The World of Rome is an introduction to the history and culture of Rome for students at university and at school as well as for anyone seriously interested in the ancient world. Drawing on the latest scholarship, it covers all aspects of the city - its rise to power, what made it great, and why it still engages and challenges us today. The first two chapters outline the history and changing identity of Rome from 1000 BC to AD 476. Subsequent chapters examine the mechanisms of government, the economic and social life of Rome, and Roman ways of looking at and reflecting the world. Frequent quotations from ancient writers and numerous illustrations make this a stimulating and accessible introduction to ancient Rome. The World of Rome is particularly designed to serve as a background book to Reading Latin (Cambridge University Press, 1986). This book opens with two chapters outlining the history and identity of Rome 1000 BC-AD 476. Subsequent chapters examine how Rome was governed, economic and social life, and Roman attitudes towards the rest of the world as reflected in the arts. An introduction to the Roman world.
