Weidenfeld & Nicolson Pax Romana: War, Peace and Conquest in the Roman World

Muito bem informado e com linguagem clara

I have used this company before and never had any issues. This time around my order was in perfect condition and delivered on time. Would recommend and I will use again in the future.

Muy bien escrito y muy bien explicado en todos los sentidos históricos de la roma republica y porteriormente el imperio.

Rome conquérante, Rome prédatrice, Rome destructrice... Et pourtant, finalement, Rome instauratrice de la paix universelle. C'est cet aspect de Rome que nous présente A. Goldsworthy dans un essai lumineux. Bravo!

This is an outstanding book. Not only is it well written but is also very approachable. Mr Goldsworthy takes on the ambitious task of covering Roman history from the early days to the collapse. It seems initially that he will cover most of the ground that many others have covered, some of them very well (see Mary Beard's excellent SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome) which he does but then veers off to cover areas not usually written about such as the economy and policies of Rome and their conquered territories, structure of the Legions and the auxiliaries who fought for them. He argues that while the hand of Rome could be heavy and at times very brutal it was no better or worse than any other extant power and was to the advantage of these territories because they accrued very real advantages for themselves. To prove this point he covers a number of conquered places that became provinces to show that the Roman Peace was real.Even if you have read a lot about Rome (the Republic and Imperial) you'll find something (if not a number) discussions in this book that are new or only given cursory coverage in other books.
