Overview
The Roman Empire was a remarkable achievement. It had a population of sixty million people spread across lands encircling the Mediterranean and stretching from England to the Euphrates in Syria, and from the Rhine to the North African coast. This Very Short Introduction covers the history of the Empire, describing how it was formed, how it was run, its religions and its social structure. It examines how local cultures were 'romanised' and how people in far away lands came to believe in the emperor as a God. The book also examines how the Roman Empire has been considered and depicted in more recent times, from the writings of Edward Gibbon, to recent Hollywood blockbuster films.
