Follow the Romans through Kingship, Republic, and Empire. Understand their society, their values, their heroes, their victories, and their defeats. The name ""Rome"" brings to mind an array of images: a Senate, an empire, an army, the Seven Hills, the seat of Christianity, and the marvels of engineering and architecture. Becoming Rome weaves together an exciting historical narrative with accounts from the Romans themselves. Enjoy Rome as they did, with images, maps, and diagrams that enable even a beginner to thoroughly appreciate how the Romans have helped us to become more civilized, and what led them at times to be uncivilized.
