From the Publisher

Product description

Review

This mervellous little book...succeeds in sketching the remarkable way in which the Roman Empire spread across Europe... ― Barbara Finney, The Journal of Classics Teaching

"...the author has succeeded admirably. This is no cop out - themes are chosen sensibly and well presented. This book does what it says on the cover... This book is intellectual, yet accessible, well written, stimulating, original, and essential for those who wish to gain a rapid overview of the subject without getting bogged down." ― Dr Mark Merrony, Minerva
