Riassunto

Becoming Rome is an original approach that weaves the historical accounts of Polybius, Livy, Plutarch, and Tacitus, with additional storytelling into a continuous, exciting narrative. Enjoy the whole story of the Roman kingship, republic and empire, from the Seven Hills to the “Senate and People of Rome,” the movement from Republic to Empire, the military conquests, the origins of Christianity, and the marvels of Roman engineering and architecture. Each chapter acquaints you with the historians of that time period, to give you the eyewitness accounts of these events, and to foster appreciation for how the Romans have helped us to become more civilized, and what led them at times to be uncivilized. Over 150 works of art show the continual relevance of the events, and 30 maps and diagrams of Roman offices and military formations give additional context. Becoming Rome is great for classroom use: each chapter finishes with seminar topics, chapter summaries, and recommended readings. Students come away with life principles and wisdom drawn from Rome’s societal structure, their values, their heroes, their victories, and their defeats.
