A History of the Roman World
By. Salmon, E.T
The Book A History of the Roman World is about the history of Rome and the height of the Roman Empire.

This book goes into how the senate served the government, but it doesn’t say how they were revered by the people.
While being very informative in where the Roman Empire expanded to, this book was unrevealing on how the new conquered areas fit into the...
