Review: Excellent guide to the Roman era. We tend to think of the peak of Roman power (spreading as far as British Isles) and then the fall. This gives the full story. The rise of the empire was a tricky affair, as all the powers from the North and further East were there at the start. Celtic raids were common. Technology is illustrated in the fortifications and maps. None of the cultural or technological items are in the index. It lists people, places and events that we gave a name. Not being any more an expert in any historical era, this serves as a fine reference for this era or European history when I move on to read about other history of these areas. This book is of more use to me than atlases that cover earlier eras and regions outside this Mediterranean focus, but I do have one that covers prehistoric developments.
Review: The atlas on Ancient Rome is an excellent resource for anyone interested in exploring the grandeur and complexity of ancient Rome. The book combines stunning visuals, including detailed maps and illustrations, with insightful commentary on Roman architecture, society, and culture. Scarre’s expertise is evident in the thorough research and engaging narrative that accompany the visuals. While the book is highly informative and visually appealing, it might feel dense for casual readers or beginners. However, for history enthusiasts and students, it offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to understanding one of history’s most fascinating civilizations. Overall, Atlas of Ancient Rome is a must-have for anyone looking to delve deeply into Roman history and appreciate its architectural and cultural achievements.

*by B***S on 8 July 2016*

The book takes one through the history of the Roman Empire in a series of short chapters summarising the main events. It is extremely well written and the author is clearly an expert in his field. The maps supplement the text in in a very helpful way and the photographs have also been very carefully selected to complement the text. Altogether an extremely engaging reference book which I shall definitely use a lot since it provides such excellent summaries of the centuries and subjects it covers.
