History of Rome

Book • 1978
Michael Grant's 'History of Rome' narrates the evolution of Rome from a small Iron Age settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the centre of an empire that dominated the Western world.

The book describes the individuals and events that made Rome a political and cultural conqueror and defines the dramatic circumstances of its eventual decline and fall.

Grant emphasizes the conservative and authoritarian nature of Roman culture, the impact of civil wars, and the interconnected reasons for the empire's collapse.

The book covers major wars, events, Roman society, philosophy, religions, literature, and the various emperors, consuls, and generals who played significant roles in Rome's history.
