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'.

读后感
不同于早先爱德华·吉本厚重沉郁的衰亡史或者盐野七生轻灵流畅的故事史，玛丽·比尔德给了我们另外一种看待罗马历史的角度。对《罗马元老院与人民》的感受很难用一言两语说清楚，所以只能择一些我觉得感兴趣的点来说： 关于罗马建国期间对萨宾女子的掠夺。印象比较深的是书中运...
评分 评分当下出版市场上，由专业历史学者撰写的通俗历史读物，一直颇受读者欢迎。然而一个令人深思的现象是，这类书籍的作者大部分是外国人，从前几年畅销的日本讲谈社中国历史丛书，到近些年国内甲骨文工作室策划的一系列世界史书目，都能说明这个问题。无论是否愿意承认，中国学者多...
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...

追《罗马》的时候同步看完
评分5-0.5 很勉强，4.5更合适。名气是这本书最大的拖累，必然失望。可能是最近读到的最不好看的史政类原文。 第一本mary beard，感觉文笔不够好，努力往下够以至上下够不着。诚然好书，却不知道写给谁的，显然不适合罗马史第一本，知道一点的又要嫌段子多。观点是有的，而且很有启发性，只是密度低，改薄两百页可能会好看很多。 强烈推荐mary beard BBC罗马前后两套共七集，寓教于乐，精巧炫酷。 再次印证偏见，一般特能说的，写的就不要太抱希望。
评分为啥不再写两百年~
评分沒有看完。讀到後來，不是很喜歡她「史話」式的筆觸。
评分要创新 要包容 也要谨慎评估风险 要从历史学习 要看到趋势的变化和人性的不变 要防止自大
