Review: Gorgeous photos, high quality printing, well organized Rome History - HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Ancient Rome: The Definitive Visual History (DK Definitive Visual Histories): PERFECT! VERY HIGH QUALITY & WELL DONE. My 2nd DK Definitive Visual History. My 1st DK was Egypt. I LOVE the DK series. Plush cover. This has high quality large pages, sharp printing, lavish photos, and well-organized factual information about Ancient Rome. This is a great companion volume to reading other books about Ancient Rome, or a stand-alone tome to prepare for travel to Roman sites or museums with Roman artifacts. Well-organized history so you can quickly find what you wish to know. BEAUTIFUL book worthy of gift-giving or for anyone who loves books. A BARGAIN at this price. A team of 10 Professors of history contributed the knowledge contained within. I bought this to go along with listening to the Roman History podcast. I also bought a few other Ancient Rome books, and this will help me integrate everything, plus see the real (ruined) buildings, mosaics, jewelry, etc of the time. A great find. 400 pages. I am going to put my money where my mouth is and buy 2 more of the DK histories right now. NOTE: some of their books are in cooperation with The Smithsonian. I cannot recommend these enough. I would definitely gift these, and I now want to own them ALL. Page 10 Chronology of Rulers CH 1 The Roman Kingdome 753-509 BCE CH 2 The Roman Republic 509-133 BCE CH 3 The Republic In Crisis 133-27 BCE CH 4 The Height of the Empire 27 BCE - 192 CE CH 5 An Empire in Transition 192 - 395 CE CH 6 The Fall of the Western Roman Empire 395 - 476 CE
Review: Expansive, visual, comprehensive, and comprehendible. - DK has built its reputation on travel books that are visual and comprehendible, giving travels the quickest, easiest, and most visually directive information they need. Three-times the size of their travel books, this handsome hardcover volume reminds me of the best, and I mean the best, junior high level history books. It covers just enough of everything to ensure one has good basic knowledge of ancient Rome. It has an expansive view that includes the world views and daily lives of the provinces and cultures that surrounded the ancient Romans, and whom they conquered. And the imagery is a pleasure to peruse. It's all just enough to whet your appetite for more. I want DK to do the definitive book on Pompeii, now. I want them to take apart the Pantheon and Colosseum even further and do those definitive books, too. What they cover and present here will get me to the sites and prepare me for the tours. It also sends me looking for more on everything, which is not a bad thing at all. Rest assured, this book is exactly what I imagined it would be. I like it very much, and recommend it to anyone looking for a compressive, visual, and comprehendible overview of ancient Rome's history and daily life.
