The publication presents an authoritative survey of ancient Roman civilisation, chronicling the rise of Rome from a modest city-state to the most powerful empire the Western world had ever seen. It details the social, political, military, and cultural forces that shaped Roman life — from the grandeur of its public architecture and engineering marvels to the intimate rituals of daily existence. Drawing on an extraordinary collection of artefacts, coins, sculpture, and inscriptions, the catalogue illustrates how Roman ideals of power, law, and culture radiated outward to transform the ancient world and leave an indelible mark on Western civilisation. Authoritative yet accessible, it serves as both a companion to the exhibition and a standalone reference for anyone fascinated by the eternal city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887976886491,"sku":"9781921953330-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f7301c0f-90e7-45f1-a2d6-3fc70f3bf4f8.png?v=1781751596","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781921953330-secondhand-rome-city-empire","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
