World of Rome

by Michael Grant

Published September 1960
Grant is "justly recognised as an expert and civilized guide to the ancient world."--"The Economist." The Romans changed the Western world and theirs became the first golden age. This is their empire of magnificence and corruption; the republic, the dictators and the slaves; the civilization and the Pax Romana, the brutality and the collapse.
