Overview

The Roman Empire not only dominated the ancient world with its military power and imposing architecture but was also a melting pot of intrigues, superstitions, and eccentricities that have fascinated humanity for centuries. From the legendary founding of Rome by Romulus after killing his brother Remus to the unusual bans imposed by emperors-such as prohibiting weapons at banquets to prevent assassinations-every corner of Roman history holds a surprising tale. Did you know that some emperors proclaimed themselves gods or that Caligula declared war on the god Neptune, ordering his soldiers to attack the sea with spears? Or that gladiators rarely fought to the death because they were too valuable as investments? This book will take you on a journey through the extravagances of the Caesars, the superstitions that guided the Romans, the myths of legendary creatures, and the architectural advances that still astonish modern engineers. Get ready to dive into a world where reality and legend intertwine in an epic story that shaped the course of human history.
