'Ancient Rome' celebrates the many great achievements of the Romans- not only the wealth of superb architecture, myths and literature they bequeathed to us, but also their long-lasting impact on Western civilization through their development of government and law.
Looking at the whole breadth of Roman life, myth and art, and tracing the connections between them, this superbly illustrated book takes us one step closer to understanding this extraordinary civilisation, which left a permanent mark on all the lands it embraced.
