It delves into how Romans perceived themselves and their accomplishments, and why their legacy continues to resonate today. Covering a millennium, the book illuminates core aspects of Roman culture, including slavery and infrastructure, while examining democracy, migration, religious debates, social mobility, and exploitation within the imperial context.
