书籍简介

一位备受赞誉的学者讲述了罗马从铁器时代兴起到13世纪攻陷君士坦丁堡的完整而惊心动魄的历史。

如今，当我们想到“古罗马人”时，许多人会联想到身着托加长袍的西塞罗和凯撒，他们先统治着一个共和国，然后是帝国，最终在公元5世纪目睹他们的世界在蛮族手中崩溃。

罗马人打破了这种狭隘的视角，首次记述了两千年来古罗马的历史。获奖历史学家爱德华·J·沃茨（Edward J. Watts）

沃茨讲述了罗马史诗般的历史：布匿战争、共和国的衰落、基督教的传入、阿拉里克对罗马的洗劫、伊斯兰教的兴起、曼齐克特战役，以及终导致帝国覆灭的十字军的猛烈进攻。瓦茨揭示了罗马持久力量的源泉，在于自称罗马人的形形色色的人们。这既是奥古斯都、马可·奥勒留和君士坦丁的罗马，也是查理曼、查士丁尼、曼努埃尔·科穆宁以及无数其他男女的罗马，他们共同将罗马打造成为世界上有史以来具韧性的国家。

《罗马人》是一部内容广泛、令人大开眼界的罗马史，堪称罗马及其公民的史书。

An acclaimed scholar tells the full, breathtaking history of Rome, from its emergence in the Iron Age to the capture of Constantinople in the thirteenth century

When we think of ?ancient Romans? today, many picture the toga-clad figures of Cicero and Caesar, presiding over a republic, and then an empire, before seeing their world collapse at the hands of barbarians in the fifth century AD.

The Romans does away with this narrow vision by offering the first comprehensive account of ancient Rome over the course of two millennia. Prize-winning historian Edward J.

Watts recounts the full sweep of Rome's epic past: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic, Alaric's sack of Rome, the rise of Islam, the Battle of Manzikert, and the onslaught of the Crusaders who would bring about the empire's end. Watts shows that the source of Rome's enduring strength was the diverse range of people who all called themselves Romans. This is the Rome of Augustus, Marcus Aurelius, and Constantine, but also Charlemagne, Justinian, and Manuel Comnenus and countless other men and women who together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.

An expansive, eye-opening portrait, The Romans is the definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
