In this history of the Roman Republic, the author traces the rise of a small city state near the Tiber estuary into a power that controlled the Italian peninsula and created the final empire of antiquity, an empire that was both to become the most enduring in the ancient world and to have the most far-reaching consequences for posterity. While this book is chronologically organized, giving the reader a clear sense of the historical progress and dynamics of Roman republican history, it also offers an overview of the culture, economics, religion and military might of the Roman Empire.
