Description: The Romans were pioneers of trade, engineering and government, and founded an empire stretching from northern Europe to North Africa. They created art and literature of great beauty and sports of horrible cruelty. This book looks at the Roman way of life and explores the history of the period in maps, diagrams and pictures. It is both a fascinating chronicle and a valuable work of reference.
