具体描述
Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.

评分历史学家夏曾佑认为： 中国之有周人，犹泰西之有希腊。 这句话说明了周和希腊分别奠定了中西文化的基础。 如此更可以说： 中国之有秦汉，犹泰西之有罗马。 秦汉与罗马奠定中西的政治体制。 古罗马简称SPQR，是拉丁语Senatus Populusque Romanus的缩写，意思为罗马元老院与人民...
评分罗马，对西方意味着什么？ 1453年，奥斯曼苏丹穆罕默德二世攻下拜占庭帝国（395—1453）的首都君士坦丁堡后，开始宣称自己是古罗马帝国的合法继承人，但觊觎这份荣光的远不止奥斯曼帝国（1299—1922），如果算上神圣罗马帝国（962—1802）、自诩“第三罗马”的俄罗斯帝国（1721...

评分太精彩了，历史太好玩了！研究了五十多年的人才能用如此通俗易懂的语言把历史的精髓写得淋漓尽致吧。这么大部头啃完都意犹未尽。Mary Beard本人的潇洒也很加分233333
