Synopsis

The Roman Empire: from wolf-born legend to world-spanning empire — this is the explosive story of Rome.

Step inside ancient Rome, where emperors ruled continents, gladiators fought to the death, and mighty legions built an empire of more than 60 million people. From marble palaces to filthy slums, from scientific breakthroughs to brutal executions, Rome was a civilization of astonishing contrasts — and unbelievable ambition.

This fast-paced, immersive book reveals how a tiny settlement on the River Tiber rose to dominate the ancient world. Discover the conquests, the culture, and the bloody power struggles that shaped history — and left a legacy that still defines our laws, architecture, language, and politics today.

• How Rome won an empire — and the dazzling cities it built
• Masters of war & thought: Cincinnatus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius
• Daily life — from religion and science to street food and family
