Description
?A History of the Roman People? describes the development of the Roman people from the Old Stone Age times to the death of the first Christian emperor, Constantine the Great ? from primitive village on the Palatine to leadership of a world commonwealth extending from Britain to Iran, from South Russia to South Arabia and the Sahara. It shows how Rome passed from kingship to republic, from the republican form of government to the imperial. The final chapter covers Byzantium until 1453.
