The history of Rome describes and interprets the rise of the small city-state of Latium into a great power: how and why it was able to unite Italy under its leadership, how and why within half a century it imposed its dominance over the Mediterranean countries, and how the empire it established contributed decisively to the creation of the cultural unity known as Europe.
This astonishing phenomenon provokes even more interest when one considers that Rome, until the early stages of its ascent to great power, namely the first three decades of the 3rd century BC, was a culturally and economically backward state. The realization that its success is owed not only to the lack of political cohesion among the more culturally advanced Greek states but also to the prudence of its leadership is useful for every educated citizen - particularly useful for every Greek studying the adventures of his homeland.
