Becoming Rome weaves together an exciting historical narrative with accounts from the Romans themselves. Enjoy Rome as they did, with images, maps, and diagrams that enable even a beginner to thoroughly appreciate how the Romans have helped us to become more civilized, and what led them at times to be uncivilized.
