  The Ancient Romans provides comprehensive coverage of the political, military and social history of ancient Rome from the earliest days of the Republic to its collapse, and the subsequent foundations of the empire laid by Augustus before his death in 14 BC. Interspersed through the discussion of the political history of the period are crucial chapters on all aspects of Roman culture, from women, to religion and slavery, and Roman law, giving students a full understanding of republican life.

  With over 150 maps, illustrations and photographs, The Ancient Romans is lavishly illustrated, and also offers a chronological table and glossary of key terms. Closely referencing the new edition of Ancient Rome: A Sourcebook, this volume is an indispensable resource for students of the Roman republic and its culture.
