This magnificently illustrated book details the rise of Rome, from her very beginnings as a little town in Italy to her unchallenged status as world empire establishing a near-universal peace.
It then explores the events that led to Rome's inevitable decline and fall. Maps, diagrams and illustrations demonstrate the military campaigns and tactical stratagems that won land, slaves and the resources that fuelled the growth of the empire.
Photographs, specially commissioned illustrations, and detailed family trees and timelines combine to create a clear picture of politics in ancient Rome.
