Make your customers fascinated by the history of the Roman Empire
Rome is a city of myth and legend. The Eternal City, the city of the seven hills, the sacred city, the caput mundi, the center of the world, Roma, Rome, by any of her many names is a city built of history and blood, marble and water, war and conquest.
There was an Empire depicts the rise and fall of the first modern civilization the world had ever known-the Roman Empire.
The piece validates the greatness that was the Roman Empire by describing its origin right from its regal down to its imperial system of government. Rome's greatness stems from its unique culture of adapting to the culture and values of its conquered provinces.
Through its culture of adaptability and flexibility, the Roman Empire inculcated Latin from the province of Latium, alphabets, and religion from the Etruscans, as well as arts and architecture from the Ancient Greeks. Rome's culture of adaptability also led to its later adoption of Christianity as its official religion.
This piece describes the Roman Empire's ability to adapt through foreign and domestic unrest, traces the Roman Empire's systems of government, mayhem (both internal and external), expansion strategies, tradition, religion, and laws to show why it has since been considered as the inception of Western Civilisation.

Описание:
This volume offers an introduction to the life and work of the 3rd-century-AD Greco-Roman senator and historian Cassius Dio, whose work, although imperfectly preserved in 80 books, is of fundamental importance to our understanding of Roman history. It is said that Dio is not one of the best ancient historians, the sheer size of his Roman history meaning that it is often superficial in its analysis and often imprecise. It has also been assumed that there was no political agenda behind the work, and that Dio's principal value to us is as a reliable copyist, who mediated the works of other, and better sources.
This introduction to his life and work offers a different picture. Here, Dio is presented through his Greek cultural lens as a politician with a clear vision for how Roman politics and government should be organized. Carefully selected examples will be the starting points for fresh critical analysis of Dio's work and its legacy, both in antiquity and through to the Enlightenment.
The book assumes no familiarity with Cassius Dio, his writing or context. All text will be translated and suggested further reading will point readers towards avenues for more detailed study.
