Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Rome But the solitary man was not asleep. He was stretched out at full length on the seat, an arm under his neck, and one hand in his hair the other hand was lost in the bosom of his coat. His eyes were closed, but his face bore not the soft expression of repose, not the deep peace of human lineaments in sleep. Instead, the efi'ort of thought was to be read in those contracted features. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Rome (La Conquista Di Roma) But the man alone was not sleeping. He lay at full length on the cushions; his eyes were closed; one arm supported his neck, and the other hand was thrust within his coat. But his face had not the peaceful ex pression of repose, as the features were contracted in thought. After the train had begun to move again, and had passed out into the open country, the traveler opened his eyes and changed his position. Occasionally a thatched cottage, a little village, or a switch-tender's little hut ﬂashed out against a dark background; while a path of fire was projected into the darkness, coming from the headlight of the locomotive, which appeared to throw a circle of dancing ﬂames before it as it rushed along at full speed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Romans Under the Empire, Vol. 1 of 8 I have stated in my first chapter the limits I venture to assign to the work, namely, the transfer of the seat of empire from Rome to Constantinople. I shall endeavour to trace throughout the long period before me the effects of conquest and supremacy upon the Roman people; the reaction of the pro vinces upon the capital the struggles of the conquered nations to assert for themselves a share in the dignities and privileges of the conquering race; and the gradual fusion into one mass of Ita lians, Britons, Africans, and Orientals. I shall have to inquire how far the boast of the Romans them selves was true, who, when they beheld the result of this universal fusion and settlement, exclaimed, that their city alone had been wise and just enough to promote this beneficent revolution of her own accord.1 For we shall see that her concessions were in a great degree extorted from her; and the crown ing event which obliterates the last vestige of Roman sentiments, the establishment of Christianity, was in fact the conquest of Rome by her own subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leading ancient world historian and author of Caesar presents “an engrossing account of how the Roman Empire grew and operated” (Kirkus). Renowned for his biographies of Julius Caesar and Augustus, Adrian Goldsworthy turns his attention to the Roman Empire as a whole during its height in the first and second centuries AD. Though this time is known as the Roman Peace, or Pax Romana, the Romans were fierce imperialists who took by force vast lands stretching from the Euphrates to the Atlantic coast. The Romans ruthlessly won peace not through coexistence but through dominance; millions died and were enslaved during the creation of their empire. Pax Romana examines how the Romans came to control so much of the world and asks whether traditionally favorable images of the Roman peace are true. Goldsworthy vividly recounts the rebellions of the conquered, examining why they broke out, why most failed, and how they became exceedingly rare. He reveals that hostility was just one reaction to the arrival of Rome and that from the outset, conquered peoples collaborated, formed alliances, and joined invaders, causing resistance movements to fade away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of Rome Our knowledge of the earlier history of Rome is unfortunately based on very inadequate evidence. It is not until the second century b.c. That we have in Polybius, the Greek statesman and exile, a historian writing on contemporary events further back we are dependent on secondhand historians, such as Livy, and on what we can derive from such documents as the list of consuls, the remains of the legal document known as the XII Tables, and such inferences as may be drawn from the evidence of language, from later institutions, civil and religious, and from the discoveries of the archaeologist in Rome and Italy. But the main outlines of the early history are fairly clear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The first of the Roman Conquests series, this volume will look at how Rome went from just another Latin town under Etruscan rule, to a free republic that gradually conquered or dominated all her Italian neighbours. With hindsight we know that Rome, which won its independence from the Etruscan kings around 510 BC, went on to conquer the greatest empire yet seen, yet it took three hundred years just to become master of all the peninsula. This involved desperate struggles for survival against their Italian neighbours - Etruscans, Latins, Samnites, Umbrians, Lucanians, the Greek colonies in the south and the ferocious Celts of northern Italy - plus invading armies from further abroad - those of Pyrrhus of Epirus and then the Carthaginian genius, Hannibal. Rome's survival, let alone her eventual greatness, was never a foregone conclusion while such formidable enemies were to be found so close to home. Other Books in the series: - Spain (Paul McDonnell Staff); Greece and Macedon (Philip Matyszak); North Africa (Nic Fields); Asia Minor and Syria (Richard Evans) Gaul; Germany; Britain; The Danube Provinces; The Eastern Frontier AUTHOR: Ross Cowan studied classics at the University of Glasgow, where he also wrote his doctoral thesis on elite units of the Roman Imperial Army. He is the author of books about the Imperial legions and Roman battle tactics, and most recently of For the Glory of Rome, a study of the warrior spirit and ethos of the Roman soldier. SELLING POINTS: * First in an exciting new series detailing Rome's march to imperial glory * Details the series of vicious wars in which the young Roman republic fought first for survival, and then for domination of the whole of Italy. * Shows how the Roman way of warfare adapted to new enemies and overcame them all. * Detailed descriptions of battles against fearsome foes such as the Celts, Samnites, Pyrrhus of Epirus and Hannibal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Smaller History of Greece: From the Earliest Times to the Roman Conquest is intended to be an introduction to Greek history appropriate for students on the high school level. The book is divided into twenty-two chapters and provides a fairly broad and all-encompassing dissection of Greek history. The first chapter details the geography of Greece and includes a number of maps to serve as a visual aide to students. From there, the book takes a chronological approach to telling the history of Greece. The book begins its history in 776 BCE, telling the story of the development of language and writing in Greece. The book proceeds through Greece's history, offering short chapters on many of the most significant events in the history of the Mediterranean nation, from The Persian Wars to the supremacy of Sparta to the death of Alexander the Great and Rome's conquest of Greece. Those unfamiliar with Greek history will surely appreciate the survey approach adopted by Smith in the writing of this textbook.

Book excerpt: Books VI-X of Livy's monumental work trace Rome's fortunes from its near collapse after defeat by the Gauls in 386 bc to its emergence, in a matter of decades, as the premier power in Italy, having conquered the city-state of Samnium in 293 bc. In this fascinating history, events are described not simply in terms of partisan politics, but through colourful portraits that bring the strengths, weaknesses and motives of leading figures such as the noble statesman Camillus and the corrupt Manlius vividly to life. While Rome's greatest chronicler intended his history to be a memorial to former glory, he also had more didactic aims - hoping that readers of his account could learn from the past ills and virtues of the city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Roman History The aim of this little book is different. As a tutor in Roman History, I have at times been accused by worried pupils of delighting over much in the heuristic method. This simply means that I like asking them questions and dislike impart ing information in tabloid shape. This is really the main object of this book also - to ask questions, to suggest to any student who may read it subjects for his own consideration and research. It has certainly not been my primary object to tell once more the often-repeated tale of Rome's history. To be in charge of a working-party in a trench has some advantages as well as responsibilities. To direct, to encourage, at times to take a hand this is similarly my desire in this book. Above all, it is meant to provoke enquiry, if not dissent, by the workers (a proceeding viewed with less favour in a trench). I hope that its main feature may turn out to be as it were a menu to the banquet. If taken as the banquet itself it will be Barmecide fare.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Client Princes of the Roman Empire Under the Republic Syria had no alternative but to assist the policy of Rome. Attalus I1 cooperated with Rome for the first time against Philip of Macedon in 211 b.c. And later in the second Macedonian war in 201 rc. But as yet, with the exception that the peace terms were dictated in Rome, whither Attalus had to send representatives, he cooperated on an equal footing. While Antiochus III was still unchecked, and her ability to cope with him uncertain, Rome could not establish her authority over the kingdoms upon his borders. Ariarathes of Cappa docia and Prusias of Bithynia were inclined to seek the friendship of whichever proved the stronger. It is Kings of not therefore till the conquest of that king that we find iiza' Rome acting as protector and arbitrator on behalf of births/z? The kings of Pergamum, Bithynia and Cappadocia, and padocw. The princes of Galatiaz. It is then that Eumenes goesb 193 188 to Rome in person to state his requests, accepts a gift Of territory as Rome's prote'ge', and appeals to her arbitration against his neighbours; that the king of Cappadocia is compelled to pay a price for Rome's friendship; and that the Galatian princes submit to Eumenes at her command.
