{"product_id":"9781904955917-secondhand-roman-provence-a-history-and-guide","title":"Roman Provence: A History and Guide","description":"The Roman occupation of Provence lasted six centuries,\nbeginning more than one hundred years before the birth of\nChrist, and surviving until well after most of Europe had\nbecome Christian. Today the region remains richer in\nRoman monuments than anywhere in the world. They are\neverywhere you look, from vast amphitheatres and\ntriumphal arches to paved road and aqueducts which\nbestride the countryside. Two thousand years later, the\nRoman genius for engineering still astonishes. Provence\nowes its name to Julius Caesar who described the region\nas the 'Province of Rome'. It was then a much larger\narea, stretching westwards to include Languedoc and\nRoussillon as far as the Pyrenees, eastward to the\nRiviera and the Maritimes Alps, and northwards up the\nRhone Valley as far as Lyon. This book covers much of\nthat larger area while concentrating on the area of\npresent-day Provence and neighbouring Languedoc, the\nheartlands of the former Roman colony.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48905418571995,"sku":"9781904955917-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/86447fd1-5d74-437f-aad0-7b5e44cf7a30.jpg?v=1782323961","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781904955917-secondhand-roman-provence-a-history-and-guide","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
