This book was short but enjoyable for sure. I can't say it's the best nonfiction I've ever read about this subject but it also isn't a bad read either. I also feel like I should mentioned that there were some typos I spotted that made me cringe a little bit because this is a finished copy and there shouldn't be any typos, in my opinion. But other than that I can't really think of anything negative to say.
I really liked reading about the history of ancient Rome's military because I'm most fascinated with that for some reason even though I'm not the biggest fan of war. Except when it comes to the ancient world, apparently. I Especially liked learning more about all the different weapens and legions. That part I really enjoyed.
This quick and easy to read book about the rise of the Roman Empire would be perfect and best suited for people who don't know a lot about the subject of ancient Rome but are eager to learn more about this fascinating era.
- Most of the historical writing of Rome did not start until late in the 3rd centry BC.
- Rome started as a small farm town upon its founding, relying heavily on agriculture to feed and finance their people.
- Even though many Christians had chosen to flee, Romans were generally accepting of the culture of others.
- Rome reached its peak of territorial expansion in 211 AD.
- Roman economics really flourished during the agricultural revolution.
Ugh, typos!
ReplyDeleteYay for learning some new interesting facts and thank you for sharing some of them with us! It sounds like this was a decent read - some minor errors and not the best - but still good enough :)
ReplyDeleteTypos really get on my nerves, too! It is so annoying in a finished copy. This does sound like it has some interesting information, though. :)
