Manuel utile qui décrit l'expansion de la Rome médio-républicaine en Italie puis outre-mer. L'état d'équilibre à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur donne à la puissance romaine un essor prodigieux. Un processus qui ne pourra que fasciner le lecteur.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 March 2013

This is one of a series of books dealing explicitly with the History of Ancient Rome from first beginnings to the decline of Empire and beyond. Each book deals with a date range which closely matches those used in the classic Cambridge Ancient History series which of course has a much wider remit. The Edinburgh series is quite explicitly a straightforward narrative history as opposed to the Cambridge series where the treatment is much more thematic.
As such this series forms a well written, readable and satisfyingly detailed introduction to the subject, and being published only recently have the (presumed!) additional benefit of incorporating the latest thinking and research.
I am reading the Cambridge series as well, but am reading the Edinburgh series first just to get a good grasp of general chronology, major events, significant characters etc. The Edinburgh series is an excellent introduction and approach to what is becoming an increasingly complex subject.
I have bought two more volumes from the series and copied this review for each of them.

The content is excellent, however the book began to physically disintegrate before I finished it, which is unfortunate in a book which I need to retain for reference.
