It is essential for the classicist, or just those interested in Roman history. It is a history of Rome collected together from the sources. Rather than writing a dry history, the editor has collated the sources in rough chronological order to come up with a primary source history, rather than one rewritten by an expert.

Using memoirs, letters and official reports, this book provides an vivid account of the Roman way of war, empire building, civilization and pax. It covers all the great events of Roman history, from the Battle of Mylae, the triumph of the barbarians to Rome's social, cultural and religious life in all its grandeur and depravity. Sources as varied as inscriptions, temple visits, household accounts, gladiatorial games open a window into a world of Ancient Rome, a civilization which still marks contemporary landscape with its roads and aquaducts, the western calendar, our laws, traditions and thoughts.
