Description
This textbook forms a survey of the whole of Roman history down to the fall of the Republic, which, while concise and economically written, is detailed enough to serve as a foundation for serious study. The book provides a straightforward and up-to-date narrative of events, covering the two central themes of internal politics (the evolution of the Republic's institutions, political conflict and the Republic's collapse) and warfare and imperial expansion, whilst considering the interrelationship of these two themes throughout. The book also looks at other developments in society, economy and culture.
