Tim Cornell and John Matthews, both distinguished scholars of classical antiquity, chart the rise and fall of Rome from its humble origins as a small Italian city-state to the sprawling empire that once dominated Europe, North Africa, and the Near East — combining richly detailed cartography with incisive historical narrative to bring the ancient world vividly to life.\n\nThe work presents not merely a geographical survey, but a sweeping cultural, political, and military history, illuminating the roads, cities, frontiers, and battlefields that defined Roman civilization. Cornell and Matthews write with precision and authority, grounding their analysis in the latest archaeological and historical scholarship of their era, while maintaining an accessibility that rewards both the general reader and the seasoned classicist. A landmark of historical cartography, Atlas of the Roman World raises an enduring question: how did one city come to rule the known world — and what does its eventual collapse reveal about our own?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572591104219,"sku":"2026200018849-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/70e11380-c2b4-4482-be1e-dddefc44990c.png?v=1791166870","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018849-secondhand-atlas-of-the-roman-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
