The Sunday Times Top 10 BestsellerShortlisted for a British Book
Industry Book of the Year Award 2016Ancient Rome matters. Its
history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something
against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories -
from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a
chord with us.And its debates about citizenship, security and the
rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil
liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the
world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew
from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that
controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans
thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are
still important to us.Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting
fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running
water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious
controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context
of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR
is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque
Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.
