The Oxford History of the Roman World Summary

The Oxford History of the Roman World by John Boardman (Lincoln College, Oxford Professor of Classical Archaeology and Art)

In less than fifty-three years, Rome subjected most of the known world to its rule. Written by a team of specialist scholars, this book traces the rise of Rome from its origins as a cluster of villages to the foundation of the Empire and its consolidation in the first two centuries CE. It includes chapters on social and political history, the Emperors, art and architecture, and the works of the leading Roman poets, historians, and philosophers.
