Ancient Rome: the Rise and Fall of World’s Greatest Empire

A city that should never have survived is about to show you exactly how it conquered the world. Picture a handful of mud huts on a marshy riverbank, surrounded by richer, older, better-armed neighbors. Now picture that same settlement, centuries later, ruling three continents. What you're about to discover will change how you see the ancient world entirely. Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of the World's Greatest Empire takes you through the full, unbroken story, from Romulus and the she-wolf to the last emperor who died fighting in the streets of Constantinople. Few people know that Rome's story didn't end in 476 AD, as most history books claim. It continued for another thousand years, through plagues, schisms, and sieges, until a final, devastating fall in 1453. > The hidden truth behind Rome's endurance isn't destiny or divine favor. It's a repeated, almost stubborn refusal to accept defeat, at Cannae, at the Rubicon, at Manzikert, and in a hundred smaller moments most history books skip entirely. > Ready to discover how an empire built the modern world, and how it lost it?
