Romans

Abigail Graham, Antony Kamm

"A concise, readable and comprehensive survey of the civilization of ancient Rome. Covering more than 1,200 years of political, military and cultural history, it explores the religion, society and daily life of the Romans through a study of their literature, art, architecture and technology. This new edition contains extensive updated and revised material designed to evoke the themes and debates which resonate in both the ancient and modern worlds: class struggles, imperialism, constitutional power (checks and balances), the role of the family, slavery, urbanization and religious tolerance."--Page [4] of cover.
