Rome is more than just a city; it's an enduring idea, a symbol of identity, power, and legitimacy that has shaped the course of history for over 1,500 years. From ancient emperors to modern world leaders, Rome's influence in building the world we know today is undeniable.
In All Roads Lead to Rome, author and historian Rhiannon Garth Jones embarks on a fascinating exploration of how the idea of Rome has been seized by emperors, modern governments, religious leaders and even pop-culture icons.
Each chapter examines how Rome's famous history, politics, and mythology have been reimagined through the centuries, and explores how these interpretations continue to shape our modern world. Whether you're interested in history, contemporary global issues, or simply curious about why Rome remains relevant, this book offers a fresh perspective on the lasting significance of one of history's most famous civilisations.
So, how many times a day do you think about the Roman Empire? The general consensus seems to be an awful lot, and All Roads Lead to Rome explains why. So, dive into the history of Rome and its pervasive influence and gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the global landscape today.
