The civilization of Ancient Rome has lived on in the buildings and artefacts that have survived to this day. This magnificent collection of specially commissioned photographs brings that history to life. Starting with the origins of Rome and the influences of Greeks and Etruscans on its infant culture the book features a catalogue of the greatest Roman Emperors and a survey of the Roman army. Learn about daily life including what people ate what they wore and the gods they worshipped. A gladiator's armour is shown and a cutaway model of the colosseum reveals in detail the structure of the bloody arena.
