The Roman Empire: Roots of Imperialism

The Roman Empire: Roots of Imperialism

by Neville Morley

Publisher: Pluto Press 2010
Number of pages: 176

Description:
A millennium and a half after the end of the period of its unquestioned dominance, Rome remains a significant presence in western culture. This book explores what the empire meant to its subjects. Unlike most works on Roman history, this book does not offer a simplistic narrative, with military triumph followed by decline and fall. Instead, it analyses the origins and nature of Roman imperialism, its economic, social and cultural impact on the regions it conquered, and its continuing influence in discussions and debates about modern imperialism.
