Purchase options and add-ons

Rome may have fallen in the late fifth century CE, but more than 1,500 years later its mark on Europe and around the Mediterranean is still evident. It's not just in the roads, aqueducts and settlements, though, that Rome's immense legacy can be found. Or even in more recent buildings from the Renaissance to the present day that have been constructed in a neoclassical style. We need only to look at modern law, which is based on principles developed during the Roman Empire. Or modern philosophy, which stands on the shoulders of work by Plato, Cicero and others. And although Latin may be a dead language, we still use it in scientific classification, even for newly coined words. From the death of Caesar to the Barbarian invasions centuries later, from Julius Caesar to Nero, from the deities to Christianity, and from the structure of political life to gladiatorial games, The Encyclopedia of the Ancient Roman Empire is an outstanding celebration of the glory that was Rome. Ranging from farming to military technology, from assassinations to the Visigoths sacking Rome, from Rome's Catacombs to Hadrian's Wall, the book expertly explores the history of Imperial Rome. Accessibly written and with a wealth of colour illustrations and photographs, The Encyclopedia of the Ancient Roman Empire is a fascinating reference work for any home.

I love this encyclopedia. The pricing is a bit steep on Amazon (purchased first copy at Barnes and Nobel) but otherwise it is fantastic. Beautiful images and easy to follow breakdowns. A must have for any lover of Roman history!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but not really an encyclopedia. The book should be titled "highlights of Roman history."

A good book on the highlights of Roman history, but, it goes by period, not alphabetically. The maps and photos are good. Just wish it was more like an encyclopedia.

This book is attractive and is a complete explanation of Greece is complemented by explanations of Mythology and reading some ancient artifacts. A very good purchase for a person with a complete interest in Greece from History to the countries wonderful sites
This work can be complemented by Bonechi Art and History books on Athens and Greece, the photographs here seem to broaden an interest with more wonderful photographs and increase an appreciation of Greece
