Description
This text is appropriate for a survey course on Roman History. Having undergone a thorough revision to incorporate the latest and most insightful research, this reader-friendly survey of Roman history embarks students on a fascinating journey from prehistoric Italy to the death of Maurice (602 A.D.)-it takes into account new archaeological evidence, advances in historical demography, and recently excavated and restudied artifacts to shed new light on our understanding of the origins and early development of Rome. Centered around a traditional political and military narrative, it presents in-depth coverage of Roman social, economic, and cross-cultural developments. Cross-references are made throughout. Supporting evidence and up-to-date explanations based on the evidence of current scholarship are emphasized.
