Story
Historians have long asserted that during and after the Hannibalic War, the Roman Republic's need to conscript men for long-term military service helped bring about the demise of Italy's small farms and that the misery of impoverished citizens then became fuel for the social and political conflagrations of the late republic. Nathan Rosenstein challenges this claim, showing how Rome reconciled the needs of war and agriculture throughout the middle republic.

Story
De los hunos, y en concreto de Atila, su caudillo más importante, nos han llegado innumerables leyendas, todas ellas relacionadas con su capacidad de destrucción y su poderío militar, jefe de un ejército capaz de aterrorizar a las expertas legiones romanas. Se decía de ellos que no tenían rostro y que se comían a sus enemigos, y su sola mención vaciaba las ciudades: era necesario por tanto, un libro capaz de rescatar los hechos históricos entre el océano de leyendas.

Una biografía completa del padre del imperio romano que resalta además los aspectos menos tratados de Julio César como su importancia como literato o su labor en Hispania. La vida de Julio César es una de las más apasionantes de todas las grandes personalidades de Roma: su ascenso social, sus conquistas, su capacidad como administrador, el complot que acabó con su asesinato y en el que participó su hijo, la sucesión, ya como emperador, de su hijo adoptivo Octavio Augusto, han dado lugar a numerosos manuales y ensayos, pero también a obras dramáticas.

Story
Rome is an empire with a bad reputation. From its brutal games to its depraved emperors, its violent mobs to its ruthless wars, its name resounds down the centuries like a scream in an alley. But was it as bad as all that? Join the historian Jerry Toner on a detective's hunt to discover the extent of Rome's crimes. From the sexual peccadilloes of Tiberius and Nero to the chances of getting burgled if you left your apartment unguarded (pretty high, especially if the walls were thin enough to knock through) he leaves no stone unturned in his quest to bring the Eternal City to book.

In The Birth of Politics, Melissa Lane introduces the listener to the foundations of Western political thought, from the Greeks, who invented democracy, to the Romans, who created a republic and then transformed it into an empire. Tracing the origins of our political concepts from Socrates to Plutarch to Cicero, Lane reminds us that the birth of politics was a story as much of individuals as ideas.

Dalle guerre sannitiche alle invasioni barbariche l'antica Roma fu protagonista di molte battaglie decisive per la storia dell'umanità. In questo volume, trionfali vittorie si alternano a drammatiche disfatte, in una avvincente successione di brillanti condottieri e improvvisati strateghi, di ciascuno dei quali apprendiamo caratteristiche e comportamenti peculiari: il carisma di Scipione l'Africano, la lucidità del console Nerone, il folle coraggio di Decio Mure, le frustrazioni di Grasso e il genio di Cesare. Senza mai ignorare i più famosi tra i loro nemici.

La storia di Roma è la somma di tante storie epiche e memorabili, gesti disperati, eroici, spregiudicati, di protagonisti disposti a tutto pur di affermare la propria ambizione, ma anche il dominio sul mondo di una città capace di superare le più atroci disfatte e le difficoltà più estreme. Gli episodi accertati storicamente non sono meno straordinari di quelli prodotti dal mito, i protagonisti non meno passionali degli dei che veneravano. Dalla cacciata dei re all'aggressione di Pirro, dalle Guerre puniche a quelle civili, da Cesare ad Augusto.

The Tazza Farnese is one of the most admired objects from classical antiquity. A libation bowl carved from banded agate, it features Medusa's head on its outside and, inside, an assembly of Egyptian gods. For more than two millennia, these radiant figures have mesmerized emperors and artists, popes and thieves, merchants and museum goers. In this, the first book-length account of this renowned masterpiece, Marina Belozerskaya traces its fascinating journey through history. That it has survived at all is a miracle.

Generalmente se nos suele enseñar la Edad Media como una etapa de oscuridad marcada por guerras continuas entre señores feudales y por un cristianismo hermético. Un estudio a fondo nos demostrará que no es una imagen completa, ya que sólo tiene en cuenta el ojo occidental. Breve Historia del Imperio Bizantino nos presenta la historia del otro lado, la historia de la Edad Media vista desde un imperio majestuoso que supo conservar, desde su inexpugnable capital Constantinopla, durante más de un milenio los valores y la cultura del antiguo Imperio romano.

Story
Il nome di Spartaco è legato alla terza e più nota delle guerre cosiddette servili, ribellioni di schiavi e non solo, che afflissero lo Stato romano fra secondo e primo secolo a.C. Il libro mostra come quella guerra sia in realtà l'episodio ultimo di una serie di eventi a sfondo sociale e civile che coinvolsero una "seconda" Italia a lungo emarginata. All'indomani di conflitti che avevano lasciato strascichi spaventosi di rovine, lutti, odio, Spartaco fu colui che, ultimo, riuscì a coagulare attorno a sé lo scontento delle popolazioni meridionali, soprattutto appenniniche, non ancora integrate.

Story
"Dovevo fare i conti prima o poi con Nerone. Lo avevo già affrontato di lato, semplificandolo nel male, similmente a come si tende sempre più a fare semplificandolo nel bene", confessa Andrea Carandini. Chi si è occupato di Roma antica non può evitare di confrontarsi con quell’uragano che è stato Nerone. Per interpretare una personalità del passato romano fuori misura, come quella di Nerone, occorre con una parte di sé entrare nella sua logica, mentre con l’altra avversarla, evitando la soluzione facile e deludente del tiranno democratico e individuando i modelli a cui s’ispirava.

No city on earth has preserved its past as has Rome. Visitors stand on bridges that were crossed by Julius Caesar and Cicero, walk around temples visited by Roman emperors, and step into churches that have hardly changed since popes celebrated mass in them 16 centuries ago. These architectural survivals are all the more remarkable considering the violent disasters that have struck the city. Afflicted by earthquakes, floods, fires and plagues, it has most of all been repeatedly ravaged by roving armies.
