  • A new chapter on provinces, provincial administration and acculturation in the Roman Empire.
  • An extended chapter on Christianity and Rome’s legacy with new case studies in the reception of Roman culture.
  • An extended chapter on Roman society and daily life, including recent scholarship on gender and race in the ancient world.

  • The book’s successful Open Access website updated to include new case studies on emerging topics such as performance politics, religious syncretism, media sensationalism and cultural heritage.
Thoroughly updated and redeveloped, this new edition of The Romans will continue to serve as the definitive introduction to the life, history and culture of the Roman world, from its foundation to its significance to later civilizations.

Recenzii

"The Romans provides an up to date introduction to all of Roman history, vividly illustrated from ancient texts and monuments. It is not just a history of Rome, but an instruction manual on how to do Roman history, packed with the latest research on the eternal city." - Greg Woolf, Director of the Institute for Classical Studies, UK
"Splendidly informative and written in a captivating style, Romans provides a first-rate introduction to Roman history, Roman society, and the Roman world. As the title suggests, Romans never loses sight of the fact that it is people who make culture. The author not only illuminates her subject for the general reader, but is also alert to the challenge of interpreting ancient evidence, and in so doing does a service for the specialist. This book bridges the gap between "them" and "us" and offers a startlingly fresh vision of the ancient world. It also draws attention to ways in which Rome’s heritage is contested to this day. I know of no better way of discovering the Romans and their enduring place in the world than by reading and re-reading Romans." - Professor Robert Garland, Colgate University, USA
