As modern empires rise and fall, ancient Rome becomes ever more significant. We yearn for Rome's power but fear Rome's ruin—will we turn out like the Romans, we wonder, or can we escape their fate? That question has obsessed centuries of historians and leaders, who have explored diverse political, religious, and economic forces to explain Roman decline. In New Rome, Paul Stephenson looks beyond traditional texts and well-known artifacts to offer a novel, scientifically minded interpretation of antiquity's end.

Pompei è un unicum nella storia dell'archeologia, una miniera di informazioni non ancora del tutto esplorata. Soprattutto, è una continua riserva di sorprese per gli studiosi, una realtà più complicata e intrigante di ciò che riteniamo di conoscere. Indagando nel «paradosso di Pompei» in compagnia di Mary Beard scopriamo così che della vita antica che si svolgeva nel centro campano sappiamo contemporaneamente molto più e molto meno di ciò che crediamo.

Frontinus’s military handbook, Stratagems, was likely composed towards the end of the first century A.D. Intended as a practical manual for military leaders, and drawing from the rich history of Greece and Rome, Stratagems offers a wealth of tactical ruses, ploys, and maneuvers that have been used to gain victory. His focus is entirely practical: what must a leader do to win? Because Frontinus grasps the psychological and moral factors of conflict, his work retains a timeless importance that modern listeners will find applicable to nearly every field of endeavor.

The last and longest war of classical antiquity was fought in the early seventh century. It was ideologically charged and fought along the full length of the Persian-Roman frontier, drawing in all the available resources and great powers of the steppe world. The conflict raged on an unprecedented scale, and its end brought the classical phase of history to a close. Despite all this, it has left a conspicuous gap in the history of warfare. This book aims to finally fill that gap.

Suetonius wrote his Lives of the Twelve Caesars in the reign of Vespasian around 70AD. He chronicled the extraordinary careers of Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, and Domitian and the rest in technicolour terms. They presented some high and low times at the heart of the Roman Empire. The accounts provide us with perspicacious insights into the men as much as their reigns.

Mary Beard ci offre una nuova visione della storia di Roma, caratterizzata da incredibili miti fondativi e grandi istituzioni politiche e sociali, da straordinarie conquiste militari e stupefacenti opere architettoniche, nonché, naturalmente, dalle gesta di personalità celebri: Cicerone, Catilina, Giulio Cesare, Ottaviano e Marco Antonio. Le innumerevoli testimonianze ci rendono partecipi dell'estrema vitalità e grandezza di un mondo globalizzato e in perpetuo movimento, dove uomini e merci, libri e idee, mode e religioni circolavano liberamente.

Byzantine Empire traces the dramatic transformation of the Roman Empire’s eastern half into a distinct Byzantine civilization, charting its arc from the founding of Constantinople in 330 to the empire’s high-water mark under the Macedonian dynasty around 1025.

Long ago, on a spring morning in Jerusalem, Pontius Pilate passed judgment on a mysterious preacher. Jesus of Nazareth was nailed to a cross shortly after and died in agony. The effects of this verdict have reverberated throughout the world and have shaped two millennia of history. Even so, the trial remains shrouded in mystery to this day. Killing the Messiah determines why and how Pilate deemed Jesus guilty of criminal behavior and the roles played by various people in ensuring Jesus' crucifixion.

The Folklore of Rome: Myth, Magic, Dying, and the Making of the Empire is an immersive exploration of how stories, superstitions, and sacred rites shaped the world’s most enduring civilization from its legendary beginnings to its imperial zenith.

La Otra Pax Romana continúa el viaje de la República de la Concordia mientras navega por los dolores del crecimiento que conlleva la supervivencia y el renacimiento. Ya no satisfecha con solo mantener el centro, la república se expande hacia el exterior: hacia las tierras salvajes de la Galia, las profundidades intelectuales de Oriente y los cambiantes vientos del comercio de África y Asia.

La Roma imperial fue un estado guerrero. El Coliseo (inaugurado en el año 80 d.C.) fue el monumento de Roma a la guerra. Como una catedral de la muerte, se alzaba sobre la ciudad e invitaba a sus ciudadanos, 50 000 a la vez, a presenciar juegos gladiatorios asesinos.

The Aeneid stands as a towering work of Classical Roman literature and a gripping dramatization of the best and worst of human nature. In the process of creating this epic poem, Vergil (70–19 BCE) became the world’s first media celebrity, a living legend. But the real Vergil is a shadowy figure. Sarah Ruden, widely praised for her translation of the Aeneid, uses evidence from Roman life and history alongside Vergil’s own writings to make careful deductions to reconstruct the life of Rome’s greatest poet.

Auch nach seinem Untergang vor 1500 Jahren scheint das antike Rom hat nichts von seiner Faszination verloren zu haben. Ganz im Gegenteil: Es ist Zentrum eines neuen Hypes. In Serien und Kinofilmen ersteht es gerade wieder auf und der Instagram-Hashtag #RomanEmpire bringt es auf mehr als 1,3 Milliarden Beiträge. Woher aber kommt das ungebremste Interesse an dem versunkenen Imperium? Der Historiker Martin Verg geht dieser Frage nach und unterhält uns mit erstaunlichen Fakten, spannenden Geschichten und kuriosen historischen Randnotizen rund um das lebendige Erbe unserer römischen Vorfahren.

Four years after their departure for the east, the armies of Rome are bloodied and exhausted. Their victories against the Parthian Empire came at great cost. As Emperor Trajan stood upon the shores of the Persian Gulf, insurrections erupted amongst the Jewish populations of Cyrenaica, Egypt, Cyprus, and Syria. These were inflamed by uprisings across the newly conquered regions of Mesopotamia. Though Trajan defeated Parthia’s armies in the field, the campaign ended with a humiliating failed siege at Hatra. Disease wreaked havoc upon the imperial army, including the emperor himself.

He was Rome’s golden boy — beautiful, brilliant, beloved. A poet, a singer, a dreamer on the throne. But behind the lyre and the laurel, there was rot. This is not the story of an emperor. It’s the story of a boy raised to perform, handed absolute power, and slowly, irrevocably swallowed by his own illusion. Nero Caesar didn’t rule an empire. He directed one — turning politics into theater, cruelty into ritual, and Rome itself into a stage built to burn.

The AD 312 Battle of the Milvian Bridge, just outside Rome, marked the start of a monumental change for Rome and her empire. This battle was the figurative bridge between old pagan Rome and new Christian Rome. And once Constantine had crossed that bridge, there was no turning back.
