The happenings and personalities of ancient Rome spring alive in this background, from its founding in 753 BC to the death of the philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius in AD 180. Paul A. Zoch presents, in contemporary language, the history of Rome and the experiences of its protagonists - such as Romulus and Remus, Horatius, and Nero-which are so often omitted from more specific studies. With an vision detail, Zoch guides his listeners through the military campaigns and politics developments that molded Rome's surge from a tiny Italian city to the best imperial power the globe had ever before known. We see the long struggle against the adversary city of Carthage. We follow Caesar as he campaigns in Britain, and we take notice of the ebb and movement of Rome's fortunes in the Hellenistic East. Writing with the fact that such experiences contain moral lessons that are relevant today, Zoch reveals a narrative that is both entertaining and informative. An afterword calls for the history to nov the Roman Empire in the West in AD 476. The e book is publicized by College or university of Oklahoma Press.
