In this controversial and provocative study Warwick Ball presents the story of Rome in the light of Rome's fascination with the East. He explains Rome's obsession with the Eastern world as a fascination of the new world for the old, of the mundane for the exotic, a love affair with the East that took literal form in the story of Antony and Cleopatra.  aRome -- History -- Empire, 30 BC-476 AD  aRome -- Civilization4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13291/ro.jpgyCover Image
