A concise, star-studded retelling of Italy's past, from Caesar and Augustus to da Vinci and Michelangelo, tracing the story of a country with prodigious global influence—from a foremost author of historic Italy.

Paul was a Roman. Yes, the apostle was raised as a devout Jew and later became a Christian, but he was a citizen of the Roman Empire. He lived in a Roman world. In his Epistle to the Ephesians, Paul wrote to an audience of Christians living in a Roman world, under Roman rule. They had all seen Roman legionnaires and were familiar with the armor and weapons carried by a typical Roman soldier. As contemporary Christians, we have a tendency to picture Sir Lancelot on his horse. We are using the wrong imagery. We miss the powerful symbolism of Paul's analogy.

Living in ancient Rome was one of the most intense experiences in human history. It was also superbly and vividly recorded by Rome's historians and poets who were acutely aware of the seething and voluptuous nature of a city that ruled the known world. Populus takes the listener into a world of violent politics, disorder, unspeakably brutal entertainments, extravagance, decadence, eroticism, exotica, and staggering inequality, participated in daily by the Roman people from the hyper-rich elite to the lowliest slaves.

The Age of the Gladiators explores many savage spectacles of Ancient Rome, many of which have become proverbial for their cruelty, bloodlust and glory. From Gladiator fights in grand amphitheaters to chariot racing at the Circus Maximus, Romans had their pick of extreme spectator sports.

Since the reign of Emperor Tiberius, an uneasy peace has existed along the Danube frontier between the various Sarmatian tribal kingdoms to the north and the Roman Empire to the south. Now, a new threat has emerged in Dacia, as the aged King Duras seeks to unite his people; a feat not witnessed since the legendary King Burebista more than a century before.

The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world.

В истории Древнего Рима фигура Марка Туллия Цицерона одна из самых значительных и, возможно, самых трагических. Ученый, политик, гениальный оратор, сумевший искусством слова возвыситься до высот власти... Казалось бы, сами боги покровительствуют своему любимцу, усыпая его путь цветами. Но боги — существа переменчивые, человек в их руках — игрушка. И Рим — это не остров блаженных, Рим — это большая арена, где если не победишь ты, то соперники повергнут тебя, и часто со смертельным исходом. Козни влиятельных врагов во главе с народным трибуном Клодием, несправедливое обвинение и полтора года изгнания.

Among all the early Iron Age people from the Near East who inherited the geopolitical vacuum of power left by the Sea Peoples invasions, the Phrygians are perhaps one of the most misunderstood.

In a bold and magisterial work of immense scope, Josephine Quinn argues that the real story of the West is much bigger than this established paradigm leads us to believe. So much of our shared history has been lost, drowned out by the concept – developed in the Victorian era – of separate ‘civilisations’. Moving from the Bronze Age to the Age of Exploration, How the World Made the West reveals a new narrative: one that traces the millennia of global encounters and exchange that built what is now called the West, as societies met, tangled and sometimes grew apart.

In "The Roman Empire the Empire of the Edomite," William Beeston throws a curveball at history, proposing a bold connection between the mighty Romans and the ancient Edomites of Jordan.

Заговор Катилины, неудачливого соперника Цицерона на консульских выборах, и попытка государственного переворота.

In The Grand Strategy of the Roman Empire, seasoned defense analyst Edward N. Luttwak reveals how the Romans were able to combine military strength, diplomacy, and fortifications to effectively respond to changing threats. Rome's secret was not ceaseless fighting, but comprehensive strategies that unified force, diplomacy, and an immense infrastructure of roads, forts, walls, and barriers. Finally, as barbarians began to penetrate the empire, Rome filed large armies in a strategy of "defense-in-depth," allowing invaders to pierce Rome's borders.

"Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon" throws down a historical gauntlet. Author B.H. Liddell Hart argues that Roman general Scipio, famed for defeating Hannibal, outshines even the mighty Napoleon. Published in 1927, the book dives deep into their strategies, campaigns, and leadership styles.

История Рима Теодора Моммзена уже давно стала достоянием науки. Этот энциклопедический труд, переведенный на все основные европейские языки, был впервые опубликован в России еще в 1858 году, в трех объемистых томах. А полвека спустя из печати вышел сокращенный вариант, подготовленный историком Н. Д. Чечулиным. В таком виде эта книга, нисколько не утратившая своих достоинств, стала доступна всем, кого интересует история европейской цивилизации.

Unter dem Titel "Römische Geschichte" veröffentlichte der deutsche Historiker Theodor Mommsen von 1854 bis 1885 eine mehrbändige Darstellung der Geschichte des Römischen Reichs.
