Lädt ... The Romans: From Village to Empirevon Mary T. Boatwright, Daniel Gargola, Richard J. A. Talbert
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() TW/CW: Death, assassination, talk of incest, talk of cruelty, torture, suicide REVIEW: I have always had a fascination with the Roman empire, so I decided it was a good time to find some books and read them. Of what my library had, this one seemed to cover the greatest time period (from the Etruscans to Constantine), so I decided to read it first. This book is very dense and has a lot of information between its pages. It is more text book than regular non-fiction book, and the writing can be dry. There’s a lot of frustration about the source material (for obvious reasons) and the book lays out before each chapter exactly what they’ve been able to find find and what is conjecture. There were things I would have liked to hear more about – especially the lives of the women and the the slaves, although I realize that any existing evidence about those two marginalized groups would be very rare, if it exists at all. This book throws a lot of names and place and battles at you, but if you want the history, it’s definitely here! Obviously it can’t go into depth on everything, but I think it gave me a basic knowledge base to go read other books from now, which is kind of what I was looking for, so this book worked for me! I’d recommend to people who don’t mind reading kind of dry history and are interested in pretty much the entire history of Rome. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
