The Roman Empire: A Very Short Introduction by Christopher Kelly

The Roman Empire: A Very Short Introduction by Christopher Kelly

The Roman Empire was a remarkable achievement. This introduction covers the history of the empire at its height, looking at its people, religions and social structures. It explains how it deployed violence, 'romanisation', and tactical power to develop an astonishingly uniform culture from Rome to its furthest outreaches.

This mervellous little book..succeeds in sketching the remarkable way in which the Roman Empire spread across Europe... * Barbara Finney, The Journal of Classics Teaching *
"...the author has succeeded admirably. This is no cop out - themes are chosen sensibly and well presented. This book does what it says on the cover... This book is intellectual, yet accessible, well written, stimulating, original, and essential for those who wish to gain a rapid overview of the subject without getting bogged down." * Dr Mark Merrony, Minerva *
