书籍简介

罗马或许在公元5世纪末就已衰落，但1500多年后，它在欧洲及地中海沿岸留下的印记依然清晰可见。罗马的丰厚遗产不仅体现在道路、水渠和定居点中，甚至体现在从文艺复兴时期至今的新古典主义风格的近代建筑中。

我们只需看看现代法律，它就建立在罗马帝国时期发展起来的原则之上。现代哲学则建立在塞内加等人的著作之上。尽管拉丁语可能已消亡，但我们仍在科学分类中使用它——即使是新造词也是如此。

从奥古斯都作为罗马头一位皇帝的统治时期，到公元5世纪开始的蛮族入侵，《古罗马帝国百科全书》是对罗马帝国辉煌的杰出颂扬。本书涵盖了从军事扩张到罗马军团生活、从庞贝到耶路撒冷再到君士坦丁堡、从政治暗杀到角斗士竞技、从罗马地下墓穴到哈德良长城等各个时期，专业地探索了罗马帝国的政治、文化、社会和历史。本书讲述了马库斯·阿格里帕、卡利古拉、克劳狄乌斯、哈德良、和哈德良等众多人物的故事。

《古罗马帝国百科全书》文笔通俗易懂，配有丰富的彩色插图和照片，是一本引人入胜的家庭参考书。

Rome may have fallen in the late fifth century CE, but more than 1,500 years later its mark on Europe and around the Mediterranean is still evident. It’s not just in the roads, aqueducts and settlements, though, that Rome’s immense legacy can be found. Or even in more recent buildings – from the Renaissance to the present day – that have been constructed in a neoclassical style.

We need only look at modern law, which is based on principles developed during the Roman Empire. Or modern philosophy, which stands on the shoulders of work by Seneca and others. And although Latin may be a dead language, we still use it in scientific classification – even for newly coined words.

From Augustus’s reign as the First Emperor of Rome to the Barbarian invasions beginning in the 5th century CE, The Encyclopedia of the Roman Empire is an outstanding celebration of the glory that was the Roman Empire. Ranging from military expansion to life within a Roman legion, from Pompeii to Jerusalem to Constantinople, from political assassinations to gladiatorial games, from the Roman Catacombs to Hadrian’s Wall, the book expertly explores the political, cultural, social and history of the Roman Empire. This is the story of Marcus Agrippa, Caligula, Claudius, Hadrian and Hadrian – and many others.

Accessibly written and with a wealth of colour illustrations and photographs, The Encyclopedia of the Roman Empire is a fascinating reference work for any home.
