Perfect guide to Ancient Rome

A well written and all-encompasing volume that is my first resource when looking for anything about Roman History. Again, as with the last review, not for the beginner, but a thorough work for anyone seriously interested in the Roman world. The bibliography is also the best of any Roman history book that I have read.

I have had this book since it was published and have always turned to it when I have a question about Roman history.It is exhaustive and enlightening. Probably not a book to read from cover to cover, and not for the beginner. This book spans the entire breadth and depth of Roman history and details all the shifts of political power and the evolution of the "classic" Rome of popoular imagination.

This book covers the major events of Ancient Rome beginning with the earliest times involving pre-Roman Italy and ending where Ancient History ends, the reign of Constantine. Cary and Scullard discusses not only the political and military events, but provide excellent discussions on Roman Society - art, religion, social life, literature, etc. The book is most definitely a valuable resource on Roman History and I highly recommend it.

For many years, this work has been recognized as the most complete, most concise work available on the history of the Roman state. Both military/political, and social aspects are discussed. For thorough and factual information, a serious scholar should look no further. This work is particulary appropriate if intended as a study tool for Junior Classical League competitions.
