What Rome Has Passed Down to Us Is Still Alive Today
Language, law, architecture, urban planning, the art of governance... Two thousand years after its fall, the Roman Empire continues to shape our world. This book takes you on a fascinating journey through time, exploring how Roman civilization has influenced the modern West.
How did the Roman Republic inspire today's democracies ? Why does Roman law still underpin our legal systems ? In what ways do our roads, cities, and the arts still bear the imprint of Rome ? With clarity and passion, this book unpacks the immense-and sometimes unexpected-legacy of the most powerful civilization of Antiquity.
Accessible, engaging, and richly documented, The Legacy of Ancient Rome is for anyone curious about history, art, and civilization. An essential read for understanding where we come from... and what we owe to Rome.
