The Reach of Rome: A Journey Through the Lands of the Ancient Empire, Following a Coin
Impero. Viaggio nell'Impero di Roma seguendo una moneta
Language: Bulgarian

     In this unconventional and accessible history, the author literally follows the money to map the reach and power of the Roman Empire. To see a map of the Roman Empire at the height of its territorial expansion is to be struck by its size, stretching from Scotland to Kuwait, from the Sahara to the North Sea. What was life like in the Empire, and how were such diverse peoples and places united under one rule? ”The Reach of Rome” explores these questions through an ingenious lens: the path of a single coin (a sestertius) as it changes hands and traverses the vast realms of the empire in the year 115 AD.
