Introduction:
Ancient Rome’s influence cannot be overstated. The English language, government, and culture—from basics such as the alphabet and calendar to more sophisticated legal systems—are so heavily saturated with Roman traits that it is impossible to imagine what the world would be like if Rome had not flourished.Any civilization whose influence reverberates so strongly around the globe
thousands of years after its fall deserves a closer look, and that is what this book
provides. Ancient Rome: From Romulus and Remus to the Visigoth Invasion transports
readers back to a time of intrigue, conquest, invention, and empire building.
Readers also will be introduced to the Caesars, warriors, senators, patricians,
and plebeians who built, governed, conquered, and inhabited the ever-expanding
territories under Roman rule. From its mythical founding by Romulus on Palatine Hill, Rome had
devised a political and social framework from which the empire would fall away
and return and to which emerging countries and civilizations would look for centuries to come. Popular images of Rome conjure the picture of a fully formed
state with vast lands and a multilayered government and social order, but its
beginnings were humble. The once-small village of Rome transformed itself into an
empire through organized government, an expansionist military policy, and openness to the cultures of the lands Rome had dominated throughout the ancient world.
