Contents:

The growth of the respublica -- The birth of an empire -- The disintegration of the Republic -- The Augustan peace -- The Pax Romana: a new deal for the empire -- The secret of empire -- Emperors, dynasties, adoptions, and a golden age -- The military monarchy: dictatorship by the army -- The Third-Century crises, and recovery -- The Fourth Century: change and decline.

Subject: The name of Rome excites a picture of power and organisation, as do the widely-spread ruins that Roman civilization left behind. Yet Rome grew out of a collection of small villages and major developments such as the growth of Empire were unplanned and completely unprepared for.Influenced by a small number of self-interested aristocrats who lacked a broader vision, Rome was often threatened by their intrigues. Brought to the ground on a number of occasions, its leaders were able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. How did Rome survive for nearly 1000 years, ruling over millions of people.
