Auhor: Aldo Cazzullo.
All the empires in history have presented themselves as heirs of the ancient Romans: the Eastern Roman Empire, Charlemagne’s Holy Roman Empire, Moscow, “the third Rome”, the Napoleonic and British empires, the fascist and Nazi regimes, the American empire or the virtual empire of Mark Zuckerberg, a great admirer of Augustus.
Rome. The Infinite Empire explains the legendary foundation of Rome, from the literary myth of Aeneas and Romulus to the Christianisation of the empire, passing through the Republican era, the extraordinary story of Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus and the age of Constantine.
Aldo Cazzullo reconstructs the myth of Rome from the characters and stories to the ideas and symbols through a story full of details and curious facts, accessible to any reader. An exciting and unique journey through one of the most decisive periods of our world.
