In 2016’s “SPQR,” Mary Beard passionately narrates the history of Rome, spanning nearly a thousand years of history in a highly informative and readable prose. Critics have praised the 600-page tome for its nuanced attention to class, democratic struggles and the lives of entire groups of people often omitted from the historical narrative. It follows Beard’s 2007 book “The Roman Triumph.” <\/p>\n
SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome<\/span> Edward Gibbon’s six-volume “History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1776-88)” is widely considered the most definitive and ambitious narratives about the ancient European civilization. The series spans thirteen centuries’ of rulersm wars and societal changes — and the events that led to its disastrous collapse. <\/p>\n The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Penguin Classics)<\/span> In “Are We Rome?” Cullen Murphy draws insightful parallels between the U.S in the 21st century and the Roman Empire in the 4th and 5th centuries. While much of the historical accounts are pulled from Gibbons’ momentous anthology, which also makes pointed comparisons between the Roman Empire and other societies, Murphy is able to provide a new perspective with even more contemporary examples from a post- 9\/11 world. <\/p>\n$17.95<\/s> $14.79<\/span><\/span>Buy Now On Amazon<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\nThe History of the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire<\/h2>\n
