The classical civilizations of Greece and Rome dominated the world for centuries
and continue to intrigue and enlighten us with their inventions, whether philosophy,
politics, theatre, athletics, celebrity, science or the pleasures of horse racing.
Robin Lane Fox's spellbinding history spans almost a thousand years of change, from
the foundation of the world's first democracy in Athens to the Roman Republic and
the Empire under Hadrian. Bringing great figures such as Homer, Socrates, Alexander,
Julius Caesar, Augustus and the first Christian martyrs to life, exploring freedom,
justice and luxury, this wonderfully exciting tour brings the turbulent histories
of Greece and Rome together in a masterly study.
