Description

Esta es la historia del mayor imperio que el mundo ha conocido. Desde la conquista del Mediterráneo iniciada en el siglo III hasta la destrucción de Roma en manos de los invasores bárbaros siete siglos más tarde, el libro recorre los episodios más decisivos del imperio romano: el espectacular colapso de la república, el nacimiento de la época de los césares, la brutal represión de la mayor de las sublevaciones contra el poder romano o la sangrienta guerra civil que lanzó al cristianismo como religión de influencia mundial. Y en el centro de estos episodios históricos, aparecen las complejas personalidades de los legendarios líderes que guiaron el destino de Roma: Pompeyo, Julio César, Augusto, Nerón, Constantino. Con un estilo narrativo trepidante y un minucioso rigor historiográfico, Simon Baker relata el ascenso y caída de la que fue la primera superpotencia mundial: una maquinaria política, militar y cultural sin parangón.
