Description

Subject Area: History

Traces the rise of Rome from a small city-state to the largest power in the Mediterranean world. Explores the political, social and cultural development of Roman civilisation from 753 BCE to 565 CE. Examines how Rome as a state and people dealt with internal conflict and external adversities and eventually transformed from a pluralistic state into an autocratic empire. Rome's political history and development are treated, as well as the social and cultural life of Rome and its Empire. Focuses on the evolution of Rome, as well as its relationship with different cultures.
