  • Pages : 508 pages

Download or read book The Eternal City written by Ferdinand Addis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The magnificent and definitive history of the Eternal City, narrated by a master historian. Why does Rome continue to exert a hold on our imagination? How did the "Caput mundi" come to play such a critical role in the development of Western civilization? Ferdinand Addis addresses these questions by tracing the history of the "Eternal City" told through the dramatic key moments in its history: from the mythic founding of Rome in 753 BC, via such landmarks as the murder of Caesar in 44 BC, the coronation of Charlemagne in AD 800 and the reinvention of the imperial ideal, the painting of the Sistine chapel, the trial of Galileo, Mussolini's March on Rome of 1922, the release of Fellini's La Dolce Vita in 1960, and the Occupy riots of 2011. City of the Seven Hills, spiritual home of Catholic Christianity, city of the artistic imagination, enduring symbol of our common European heritage—Rome has inspired, charmed, and tempted empire-builders, dreamers, writers, and travelers across the twenty-seven centuries of its existence. Ferdinand Addis tells this rich story in a grand narrative style for a new generation of readers.

Book The History of Rome in 12 Buildings

Download or read book The History of Rome in 12 Buildings written by Phillip Barlag and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any travel guide to Rome will urge visitors to go the Colosseum, but none answers a simple question: Why is it called the Colosseum? The History of Rome in 12 Buildings: A Travel Companion to the Hidden Secrets of The Eternal City is compelling, concise, and fun, and takes you behind the iconic buildings to reveal the hidden stories of the people that forged the Roman Empire. Typical travel guides provide torrents of information but deny their readers depth and perspective. In this gap is the really good stuff--the stories that make the buildings come alive and vividly enhance any trip to Rome. The History of Rome in 12 Buildings will immerse you in the world of the Romans, one full of drama, intrigue, and scandal. With its help, you will be able to trace the rise and fall of the ancient world's greatest superpower: Find the last resting spot of Julius Caesar. Join Augustus as he offers sacrifices to the gods. Discover the lie on the fa�ade of the Pantheon. Walk in the footsteps of Jesus. And so much more.

Book A History of Rome for Beginners

Download or read book A History of Rome for Beginners written by Evelyn S. Shuckburgh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Rome for Beginners: From the Foundation of the City to the Death of Augustus This book is not a mere abbreviation of my larger history. It has been written for the most part entirely afresh, and is intended to put the main events of Roman history, both in regard to political development and imperial extension, as simply and briefly as seemed possible. Military events, as such, are given with a minimum of detail, and the effects of campaigns have been dwelt upon rather than their nature and circumstances. Whether I have succeeded in hitting the mean between a Primer and an advanced History I must leave to the judgment of my readers: but that has been my aim. The book, such as it is, owes a great deal to the kind criticisms and suggestions of my friend and former colleague at Eton, Mr. C. H. Everard, formerly Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, whose patience in reading the proofs I am glad to acknowledge with gratitude.

Book The First Man in Rome

    Book Details:
  • Author : Colleen McCullough
  • Publisher : HarperCollins
  • Release : 2020-04-07
  • ISBN : 0063019795
  • Pages : 1152 pages

Download or read book The First Man in Rome written by Colleen McCullough and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 1152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With extraordinary narrative power, New York Times bestselling author Colleen McCullough sweeps the reader into a whirlpool of pageantry and passion, bringing to vivid life the most glorious epoch in human history. When the world cowered before the legions of Rome, two extraordinary men dreamed of personal glory: the military genius and wealthy rural "upstart" Marius, and Sulla, penniless and debauched but of aristocratic birth. Men of exceptional vision, courage, cunning, and ruthless ambition, separately they faced the insurmountable opposition of powerful, vindictive foes. Yet allied they could answer the treachery of rivals, lovers, enemy generals, and senatorial vipers with intricate and merciless machinations of their own—to achieve in the end a bloody and splendid foretold destiny . . . and win the most coveted honor the Republic could bestow.

Book A Brief History of the Private Lives of the Roman Emperors

Download or read book A Brief History of the Private Lives of the Roman Emperors written by Anthony Blond and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-10-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the recent success of 'Rome' on BBC2, no one will look at the private lives of the Roman Emperors again in the same light. Anthony Blond's scandalous expose of the life of the Caesars is a must-read for all interested in what really went on in ancient Rome. Julius Caesar is usually presented as a glorious general when in fact he was an arrogant charmer and a swank; Augustus was so conscious of his height that he put lifts in his sandals. But they were nothing compared to Caligula, Claudius and Nero. This book is fascinating reading, eye-opening in its revelations and effortlessly entertaining.

Book Rome and the Making of Modern Europe

Download or read book Rome and the Making of Modern Europe written by James Richard Joy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome and the Making of Modern Europe In 1886-7 the author of this book prepared a primer of Roman history upon a plan devised by John H.Vincent. The volume, which was entitled An Outline History of Rome, was placed upon the Chautauqua reading course for the ensuing year, where it gave a considerable degree of satisfaction - perhaps quite as much as was to be expected of a sketch so brief and bony. The aim of the book had been to restrict the work to the significant events and important actors, sacrificing dramatic form and picturesque detail to the necessity of condensation. The present work is an extension of the Outline History, so as to cover the historical period which bridges the gap between the Roman Empire and Modern Europe. The first six chapters are substantially a reprint of the former volume; the seventh has been rewritten; the three remaining chapters are new. Acknowledgment should be made in this place to the large number of writers upon this period whose works have been freely consulted in the preparation of this book.
