From the founding of Rome to the sack of the eternal city by Alaric the Goth in AD 410, Ancient Rome Books 1 & 2 cover
the rise of the Roman Republic and the slow decline and fall of the Roman empire. These books begin with the founding
myths, chart the wars with Carthage and the influence of Hellenism, and cover the establishment and breaking of the
Roman empire. Along the way, the documents in these books will illustrate the virtues that defined Roman citizenship,
chart the birth and spread of Christianity, and provide insight into Roman education, philosophy, and material culture.
The 50 chapters include:
• Accounts of historical events and figures such as the Battle of Hastings and Joan of Arc
• The flowering of medieval learning in the writings of figures such as Anselm, Aquinas, and Roger
Bacon, and the contribution of Muslim science alongside mystics and polymaths
• Early explorers such as Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, and Felix Fabri
• The writings of literary masters from across Europe, such as Marie de France, Dante, and Petrarch
