The book is devoted to Ancient Rome—its stormy history, which never ceases to fascinate and amaze with the abundance of dramatic events, outstanding philosophy, masterpieces of literature and architecture, as well as the widely recognized, logically constructed system of Roman law and jurisprudence.
In addition to the main periods of Rome, the plain-print edition includes the best illustrations on the art of the Hellenistic era, along with genealogical tables of the imperial families of this giant on whose ruins most of the West European states were formed.
For everyone interested in the history of antiquity.
