Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.

评分本書自2015年發售以來,一直都在亞馬遜的暢銷榜上蟬聯,分數也都高居不下,令人想不注意也難。我是等到了價格比較親民的平裝版問世了,才捨得下手。Mary Beard這個名字其實在之前我就已經認識,我在Youtube上偶然看了她替BBC拍的紀錄片:“Meet the Romans”就印象深刻。之後我...
评分罗马,对西方意味着什么? 1453年,奥斯曼苏丹穆罕默德二世攻下拜占庭帝国(395—1453)的首都君士坦丁堡后,开始宣称自己是古罗马帝国的合法继承人,但觊觎这份荣光的远不止奥斯曼帝国(1299—1922),如果算上神圣罗马帝国(962—1802)、自诩“第三罗马”的俄罗斯帝国(1721...
* Ancient Rome is important.To ignore the Romans is not just to turn a blind eye to the distant past. * I have learnt their language as well as I can. I have read a good deal of the literature they have left us. * I no longer think, as I once naively did, that we have much to learn directly from the Romans… * But I am more and more convinced that …
