Description
|
|
|
|
This is the history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire in the words of those who saw it firsthand—an epic account of a great civilization that indelibly marked our landscape (the Colosseum, the Roman roads, the aqueduct at Nimes), our language, our calendar ("July" for Julius Caesar), our laws, our traditions (carrying a bride across the threshold), and our philosophical thought.
