Matching clear graphics with informative text, Christopher Scarre's atlas gives a fine overview
of Roman history from the emergence of the first city-state in the eighth century B.C. to the
rise of Christian theocracy a millennium later.

The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome is especially helpful in showing the growth of
the Roman empire through successive centuries of military campaigning from Scotland to Arabia
and in delineating the networks of trade, transit, and communication that bound the far-flung
outposts to the imperial capital. Scarre notes that many of those networks still survive in one
form or another.
