This is the established, definitive work on the history of Rome from its founding to the fall of Carthage. By covering not just political and military events, but also economic, social, and cultural issues, Scullard creates a comprehensive portrait of both the city and the provinces. The Roman World is an accessible introduction to these centuries of change when Italy was unified, the Rome established an empire, and epic struggles like the Punic Wars decided the fate of the whole of the Mediterranean region.
