Summary

Ancient Rome covers Roman civilization from the founding of the city of Rome to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, encompassing the Roman Kingdom, Roman Republic, and Roman Empire, until the fall of the Western empire.

Inside, you will learn about:

  • A myth evolves into an empire
  • The reign of terror
  • Emperors, able or inept
  • The Roman Empire is born
  • The two faces of Caligula
  • Division, decline, and death
  • And much more!

In its many centuries of existence, the Roman state evolved from a monarchy to the classical republic, and then to an increasingly autocratic empire.

Rome professionalized and expanded its military and created a government system called res publica, the inspiration for modern republics. It achieved impressive technological and architectural feats, such as the construction of an extensive system of aqueducts and roads, as well as the construction of large monuments, palaces, and public facilities.
