From a small cluster of villages on the banks of the Tiber River to a sprawling empire that ruled over 20 per cent of the world’s population, this is the wondrous story of Ancient Rome. The gifts bequeathed upon our world by Ancient Rome constitute the foundational pillars of Western civilization to this day – be it the Julian calendar, the names of the planets in our Solar System, or one of the most famous quotes in popular imagination, ‘et tu Brute?’ Follow along as The Shortest History of Ancient Rome takes you on a whirlwind journey through the myth, legend and fact that comprise the story of the ‘empire without an end’. Considered second only to the kingdom of Heaven, it went on to inspire generations of the world’s greatest known philosophers, poets, playwrights and artists, whom we continue to read and revere to this day. Be it Marcus Aurelius’s meditations on Stoicism, Machiavelli’s treatises on administration and good governance, Shakespeare’s tragedies, or a wealth of sculpture art, Ancient Rome remains alive in the world’s memory today despite its fall from the zenith of power many centuries ago. Extended research presented with lucid style, uncomplicated narrative and dramatic storytelling along with paintings gave me goosebumps in each chapter. It gives us insights of world's first women empowerment movement, takes us to a time when same sex marrying was legal activity, a rich guy could have 4000+ slaves and I am sure he can give a run for the bread to today's business tycoons. A powerful riveting journey to looking back one of history's rich civilization and their culture. There was a chapter dedicated to bad kings and theres was a husband in the crowd of selfish men who actually appreciate his wife's strength and said - her body is not strong enough to compare the men but in spirit she is valiant in defence of her country - the husband was Brutus and the wife was Porcia. Well, they were partner in crime but still it's a good start I think:) Thank you for copy @panmacmillanindia Which slide gives you jolt? #Theladilivesinbook #Theshortesthistoryofancientrome #Bookish
