Download or read book Enemies of Ancient Rome written by Virtus Libris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Roman Empire has been written expansively by Gibbons in his authoritative and exhaustive text, The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. This history extols the victories and defeats of the individual Emperors as they elevate and then decimate the Roman Empire. Even though this book is very thorough, it devotes a mere four pages to the period of the Goths. The Goths, however, deserve much more than an afterthought, which is where Enemies of Ancient Rome: The Goths, comes in. Inside this historical account of the Goths from the time they enter the historical record roughly 100 years BCE to their last mentions in the timeline around 700 CE. Inside you will learn how the Goths brought sharpened iron weapons to the armament of the Romans, how they survived as traders and tinkers, bringing foreign goods to the citizens of the empire. Learn how the Goths controlled the overland trade and the fur trade, making them rich and prosperous. Under cruel and inhumane circumstances, the Goths overcame and endured for centuries, sometimes in the service of Rome, and sometimes as rulers of their own empires. The Goths were strong and clever, with a military strength and endurance that surpassed the Romans but they were also progressive, they treated all the religions fairly and even let women fight on the front lines. They were even ultimately responsible for the conversion of Spain to the Catholic Church. Within these pages are the stories of the incredible Goths, their people, and their history. If you want to know more about these strong and incredible people, download this book now.

Book excerpt: Rome is an empire with a bad reputation. From its brutal games to its depraved emperors, its violent mobs to its ruthless wars, its name resounds down the centuries like a scream in an alley. But was it as bad as all that? Join the historian Jerry Toner on a detective's hunt to discover the extent of Rome's crimes. From the sexual peccadillos of Tiberius and Nero to the chances of getting burgled if you left your apartment unguarded (pretty high, especially if the walls were thin enough to knock through) he leaves no stone unturned in his quest to bring the Eternal City to book. Meet a gallery of villains, high and low. Discover the problems that most exercised its long-suffering citizens. Explore the temptations of excess and find out what desperation can make a pleb do. What do we see when we look at Rome? A hideous vision of ancient corruption - or a reflection of our own troubled age?
Download or read book The Edges of the Roman World written by Staša Babić and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Edges of the Roman World is a volume consisting of seventeen papers dealing with different approaches to cultural changes that occurred in the context of Roman imperial politics. Papers are mainly focused on societies on the fringes, both social and geographical, and their response to Roman Imperialism. This volume is not a textbook, but rather a collection of different approaches which address the same problem of Roman Imperialism in local contexts. The volume is greatly inspired by the first “Imperialism and Identities at the Edges of the Roman World” conference, held at the Petnica Science Center in 2012.
Download or read book History of the Ancient Civilizations That Defined Our World written by Virtus Libris and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 455 CE, and Rome has fallen. The streets swarm with barbarians in search of loot and plunder. The monuments and statuaries that give proof to the wealth and might of Rome have been stripped of their gilded facades. All that remains are the coarse, worn stone structures of an aging, dying civilization. Although the Vandals have not destroyed the city, they have destroyed the appearance of civilization that had separated Rome from the barbarians. To this day, the Vandals have been demonized historically for their role in the desecration of the Eternal City of Rome. So great was the Vandal sack of Rome that the term "vandal" originated to describe wanton acts of destruction and violence. Yet of all the barbarian civilizations encountered by Rome, the Vandals were one of the least populous, constantly forced off their lands by stronger neighbors. For centuries they sought a homeland. The story of the Vandals is a tale of exodus, a tale of searching for that which is never found. But that tale is not told by historians, for the Vandals accomplished that which few nations did; they attacked the heart of Rome, and caused the Romans to fear their very name. This is the story of the people who brought the light of civilization to its knees, and helped usher in the darkness of the Dark Ages.

Download or read book The Fall of the Roman Empire A New History of Rome and the Barbarians written by Peter Heather and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005-10-28 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The death of the Roman Empire is one of the perennial mysteries of world history. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Peter Heather proposes a stunning new solution: Centuries of imperialism turned the neighbors Rome called barbarians into an enemy capable of dismantling an Empire that had dominated their lives for so long. A leading authority on the late Roman Empire and on the barbarians, Heather relates the extraordinary story of how Europe's barbarians, transformed by centuries of contact with Rome on every possible level, eventually pulled the empire apart. He shows first how the Huns overturned the existing strategic balance of power on Rome's European frontiers, to force the Goths and others to seek refuge inside the Empire. This prompted two generations of struggle, during which new barbarian coalitions, formed in response to Roman hostility, brought the Roman west to its knees. The Goths first destroyed a Roman army at the battle of Hadrianople in 378, and went on to sack Rome in 410. The Vandals spread devastation in Gaul and Spain, before conquering North Africa, the breadbasket of the Western Empire, in 439. We then meet Attila the Hun, whose reign of terror swept from Constantinople to Paris, but whose death in 453 ironically precipitated a final desperate phase of Roman collapse, culminating in the Vandals' defeat of the massive Byzantine Armada: the west's last chance for survival. Peter Heather convincingly argues that the Roman Empire was not on the brink of social or moral collapse. What brought it to an end were the barbarians.
Download or read book From Rome to Byzantium written by Michael Grant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byzantium was dismissed by Gibbon, in the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,and his Victorian successors as a decadent, dark, oriental culture, given up to intrigue, forbidden pleasure and refined cruelty. This great empire, founded by Constantine as the seat of power in the East began to flourish in the fifth century AD, after the fall of Rome, yet its culture and history have been neglected by scholars in comparison to the privileging of interest in the Western and Roman Empire. Michael Grant's latest book aims to compensate for that neglect and to provide an insight into the nature of the Byzantine Empire in the fifth century; the prevalence of Christianity, the enormity and strangeness of the landscape of Asia Minor; and the history of invasion prior to the genesis of the empire. Michael Grant's narrative is lucid and colourful as always, lavishly illustrated with photographs and maps. He successfully provides an examination of a comparatively unexplored area and constructs the history of an empire which rivals the former richness and diversity of a now fallen Rome.

Book excerpt: An assessment of the rise and fall of the Roman empire, told from the perspectives of the civilizations that were vanquished by Rome, argues that such groups as the Celts, Hebrews, and Phoenicians were civilizations in their own right in spite of beliefs about Roman superiority and examines the impact of leadership ambition, political choices, and rivalry on the empire's downfall.
Download or read book Reflections of Roman Imperialisms written by Marko A. Janković and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers collected in this volume provide invaluable insights into the results of different interactions between “Romans” and Others. Articles dealing with cultural changes within and outside the borders of Roman Empire highlight the idea that those very changes had different results and outcomes depending on various social, political, economic, geographical and chronological factors. Most of the contributions here focus on the issues of what it means to be Roman in different contexts, and show that the concept and idea of Roman-ness were different for the various populations that interacted with Romans through several means of communication, including political alliances, wars, trade, and diplomacy. The volume also covers a huge geographical area, from Britain, across Europe to the Near East and the Caucasus, but also provides information on the Roman Empire through eyes of foreigners, such as the ancient Chinese.
