Atlas of the Roman Empire explores every aspect of the empire’s rise, apogee and fall.
Comprehensive political maps show the dynamic ebb and flow of conquest and resistance. Battle maps illustrate key victories and defeats, illuminating the tactics that made Rome so successful, as well as its errors and disasters.
Political and social life is not neglected, featuring surprisingly intimate portaits of life across the empire, from the emperors and their rivals to ordinary soldiers. Packed with detail, anecdote, and remarkable maps, this is the ultimate guide to the imperial era.

Thurnau Professor in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Michigan, where he has taught for more than 25 years. He is the author of more than ten books on Roman history and appears regularly on the History Channel.
