5.0 out of 5 stars NOTE! This is the 1st edition NOT the expanded 2nd edition
Reviewed in the United States on 2 March 2018

Unfortunately the 2nd edition is not available in Kindle format, but does have extra chapters covering two more centuries up to 500 AD. I know this because I bought the print version of the 2nd edition a couple of years ago, didn't finish it and now I wanted the Kindle version because I prefer reading on the Kindle versus print books. I didn't check the version before clicking buy. Sigh... Well, at least up to 325 AD the books are the virtually the same. I think the books are just the best history of Rome there is available! You have to be a real history lover as this a detailed book, but determine which version you want, as that determines the format.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise introduction with beautiful maps
Reviewed in the United States on 28 August 2012

I have really enjoyed this introduction to the Romans and have found the maps invaluable. I enjoy cartography and the maps used are from the Ancient world mapping center at UNC Chapel Hill. They have a great website with free downloads of maps as well. It is a well organized book that has seen many revisions and is finely honed. Excellent for gaining a basic understanding of Roman history.
