Эта книга может дать немало интересных сведений желающим больше узнать о римской цивилизации – её культуре и повседневной жизни римлян. Археологические открытия постоянно вносят поправки в учебники истории, и такая, казалось бы, изученная тема, как история Рима, не является исключением. Так, находка в 2004 году вблизи Оксфорда 5000 монет императора Домициана подтвердила его существование, прежде подвергавшееся сомнению, так как единственная монета с его портретом, сто лет назад была признана фальшивкой. В книге рассказывается о жизни римлян начиная с основания Рима ок. 753 г. до н.э., через период правления этрусских царей, зарождение и падение Римской республики, имперский период и до падения Империи и коронации варварского короля Одоакра.Образцы сканов:
