- Book 1 of 1: Le storie non scritte
Roma non era destinata a dominare il Mediterraneo. Alessandro non era destinato a conquistare la Persia. Il mondo dell’età del bronzo non era destinato a crollare.
La storia ci sembra inevitabile, spesso, solo perché sappiamo già come è andata a finire.
Prima che Roma dominasse torna su venti momenti in cui il mondo antico avrebbe potuto prendere un’altra strada. E se le città sumere avessero imparato a lavorare il ferro con secoli di anticipo? Se la misteriosa scrittura della civiltà dell’Indo fosse sopravvissuta e potessimo leggerla ancora oggi? I Minoici avrebbero potuto riprendersi da una catastrofe? Aton avrebbe potuto restare il dio supremo dell’Egitto, o Ninive sfuggire alla distruzione? E quale Mediterraneo sarebbe emerso se la Persia avesse conquistato la Grecia, Alessandro fosse caduto a Gaugamela o Annibale fosse riuscito a sconfiggere Roma?
Ogni capitolo parte dal mondo che esisteva davvero: i suoi sovrani e le loro rivalità, gli eserciti, le credenze, le tecnologie, le rotte commerciali e i limiti del potere politico. Poi cambia un evento decisivo e ne segue le possibili conseguenze, lasciando spazio all’immaginazione senza perdere di vista le testimonianze storiche. Qui una singola vittoria non fa nascere senza difficoltà uno Stato moderno, né un’invenzione antica dà il via a una rivoluzione industriale. Ogni storia alternativa incontra resistenze, produce effetti imprevisti e apre nuovi conflitti.
Dalle prime città della Mesopotamia alle guerre tra Roma e Cartagine, Prima che Roma dominasse riporta in vita civiltà scomparse e pone una domanda più grande: quanto del mondo che abbiamo ereditato era inevitabile? E quanto è dipeso da decisioni, catastrofi, singole persone e caso?
Per chi ama la storia antica, le civiltà perdute, la storia militare e le ipotesi storiche ragionate, questo libro è un invito a esplorare venti passati possibili, prima che la storia prendesse un’altra direzione.
La storia ha seguito una strada. Queste sono le strade che ha lasciato inesplorate.
