Powerful in war, Rome was magnificent in peace, so that even today her poets, artists, philosophers and historians exert their influence over Western thought and civilization. Michael Grant, the renowned classical historian, recreates the evolution of this astonishing city and community. He describes the individuals and events that made Rome a political and cultural conqueror, and defines the dramatic circumstances of her eventual decline and fall.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Michael Grant</note> <subject> <topic>antiquity -- history</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Rome (Empire)</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">945.632</classification> <classification authority="ddc">G761-M62</classification> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15133/12.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15133/12.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071438.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
