This gripping account of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire is both powerful and thought-provoking. The author’s ability to maintain a delicate balance between the horrors of war and takeovers, and the personal stories of the people, who lived there, is what sets this book apart from others of its kind. Berg’s incredible attention to detail takes the reader on a trip back in time, to the heyday of the Roman Empire and its ultimate demise. “The Ancient Roman Empire: The Secrets of Rome’s Rise and Fall”, is extremely informative, without bogging the reader down in unnecessary fluff and filler. This book chronicles the times of peace in Rome, known as the” Pax Romana”, as well as, the “Crisis of the Third Century” which crippled Rome, and eventually brought about its downfall. This book is an easy read, yet it gives the reader the complete story of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, quickly and efficiently.
