{"product_id":"the-encyclopedia-of-the-ancient-roman-empire","title":"The Encyclopedia of the Ancient Roman Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003eRome may have fallen in the late fifth century CE  but more than 1 500 years later its mark on Europe and around the Mediterranean is still evident. Its not just in the roads  aqueducts and settlements  though  that Romes immense legacy can be found. Or even in more recent buildings from the Renaissance to the present day that have been constructed in a neoclassical style. We need only to look at modern law  which is based on principles developed during the Roman Empire. Or modern philosophy  which stands on the shoulders of work by Plato  Cicero and others. And although Latin may be a dead language  we still use it in scientific classification  even for newly coined words. From the death of Caesar to the Barbarian invasions centuries later  from Julius Caesar to Nero  from the deities to Christianity  and from the structure of political life to gladiatorial games  The Encyclopedia of the Ancient Roman Empire is an outstanding celebration of the glory that was Rome. Ranging from farming to military technology  from assassinations to the Visigoths sacking Rome  from Romes Catacombs to Hadrians Wall  the book expertly explores the history of Imperial Rome. Accessibly written and with a wealth of colour illustrations and photographs  The Encyclopedia of the Ancient Roman Empire is a fascinating reference work for any home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946840748085,"sku":"ByrdShop_1782746943","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781782746942.jpg?v=1769968679","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-encyclopedia-of-the-ancient-roman-empire","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
