Empire: A Mosaic of People and Places in the World of Ancient Rome

Explore the Roman Empire!

Did you know that the Roman Empire, at its greatest extent, stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to ancient Babylon in the east, and from the land of Egypt in the south all the way to Scotland in the far north? Did you ever wonder how many different peoples and places were found within the borders of the Roman world? What kind of people inhabited and influenced such a world? How did major cities like Rome and Athens compare to outposts at the far edge of the Empire?

If you have pondered these questions, or if your curiosity is piqued, then Empire is the book for you!

Journey back and forth across the Roman Empire to learn about settlements from Britannia to the sand seas of North Africa.
