BOOKS ABOUT THE ROMANS available from booksmusicfilmstv.com - in association with
Amazon.co.uk
The Roman Empire was, at nearly a thousand
years, the longest-running empire the world has ever
known. Though the most powerful empire in the world for
hundreds of years, the Romans gained power as much
through their ruthlessness as they did with their
technical ingenuity. On the one hand they gave the world
Virgil and Horace, magnificent architecture and roads,
and on the other, Nero, Caligula, crucifixion, and human and animal slaughter served up as entertainment.
