Ancient Rome: A Concise Overview of the Roman History and Mythology Including the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire

by Eric Brown

Few societies and historical periods capture our fascination as much as ancient Rome. With a founding steeped in legend, along with the rise and fall of a monarchy, a republic, and an empire filled with colorful, and often even bizarre, leaders and popular figures, it is no wonder that it has been the source of inspiration for a multitude of novels, movies, and television shows.
While this entertainment fare has had varying degrees of historical accuracy, a great deal of artistic license does not need to be taken to make the story of ancient Rome intriguing and scintillating. It was a society and a people rich with a drama that still captures our interest even today, more than 1500 years since the fall of the great Roman Empire.

I was really excited when I ordered this book. But, when I got it in the mail I was really mad. I was mad at how thin the book was. It was totally not what I was expecting. Plus I really thing that I really overpaid for it considering how thin the book is. The whole layout of the book is just stupid. It makes it seem like it’s a kids book. The text is separated into paragraphs and in a weird order. I will most definitely be returning this book for a refund. To sum this all up, I’m sure if had known that the book was so thin and I wanted the information that the book offers, I would be content. I just wanted and was expected something completely different.
