    Taylor and Francis 2012; US$ 49.95

    The remains of Roman roads are a powerful reminder of the travel and communications system that was needed to rule a vast and diverse empire.

  • Trajanby Julian Bennett

    Taylor and Francis 2000; US$ 41.95

    Did Trajan really deserve his reputation as the embodiment of all imperial virtues? Why did Dante, writing in the Middle Ages, place him in the sixth sphere of Heaven among the Just and Temperate rulers? In this, the only biography of Trajan available in English, Julian Bennett rigorously tests the substance of this glorious reputation. Surprisingly,... more...

  • A Brief History of the Private Lives of the Roman Emperorsby Anthony Blond

    Constable & Robinson 2012; US$ 11.65

    With the recent success of 'Rome' on BBC2, no one will look at the private lives of the Roman Emperors again in the same light. Anthony Blond's scandalous expose of the life of the Caesars is a must-read for all interested in what really went on in ancient Rome. Julius Caesar is usually presented as a glorious general when in fact he was an arrogant... more...

    At its height, the Roman Empire was the greatest empire yet seen with borders stretching from the rain-swept highlands of Scotland in the north to the sun-scorched Nubian desert in the south.

    Mohr Siebeck 2011; US$ 52.85

    Hauptbeschreibung John Granger Cook investigates the earliest interactions between Roman authorities and Christians.
