Each year is detailed in turn, showing how events unfolded throughout this fascinating period of history: the development of the Empire, its external struggles and outstanding generals and politicians who shaped it. Each conflict is dealt with as a separate entry, be it the Punic Wars, Hannibal crossing the Alps with his elephants, or a revolt in an Italian province. Here, studied in detail are the constant struggles, which took Romans from a collection of small farm settlements along the River Tiber to an Empire that ruled all of Italy, and later, through involvement in foreign wars with Carthage and in Greece, to expansion across the Mediterranean.
