Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.

评分本書自2015年發售以來,一直都在亞馬遜的暢銷榜上蟬聯,分數也都高居不下,令人想不注意也難。我是等到了價格比較親民的平裝版問世了,才捨得下手。Mary Beard這個名字其實在之前我就已經認識,我在Youtube上偶然看了她替BBC拍的紀錄片:“Meet the Romans”就印象深刻。之後我...
评分罗马史向来有很多种写法,最受大众欢迎的显然是军事史和英雄史,政治史和“法治”史更学究一些,风俗史等等也有不少读者。在众多史著中,Beard的这部作品更显突出,作者在谋篇布局中,将元老院的角色放在了中心舞台上,各色人等鱼贯上下,与元老制产生互动,在互动的过程中,梳...
评分贯穿全书的除了中下层自由民之外,还有反叛者妇女各地的“本地人”奴隶与释放奴, 以及因为帝国的扩张身份较难界定的人。众生相中包括酒馆中酩酊大醉的顾客,死后不用再为房租担心的释奴,妇女不但有自己的主词条,还有二次索引, 比如“生育的风险”“儿童新娘”“关于被解放...
评分历史学家夏曾佑认为: 中国之有周人,犹泰西之有希腊。 这句话说明了周和希腊分别奠定了中西文化的基础。 如此更可以说: 中国之有秦汉,犹泰西之有罗马。 秦汉与罗马奠定中西的政治体制。 古罗马简称SPQR,是拉丁语Senatus Populusque Romanus的缩写,意思为罗马元老院与人民...

评分* Ancient Rome is important.To ignore the Romans is not just to turn a blind eye to the distant past. * I have learnt their language as well as I can. I have read a good deal of the literature they have left us. * I no longer think, as I once naively did, that we have much to learn directly from the Romans… * But I am more and more convinced that …
评分就我个人的口味而言战争方面谈得太少,但真的好看。后面的参考书目很有用,算一个初级的研究引导了。
评分太精彩了,历史太好玩了!研究了五十多年的人才能用如此通俗易懂的语言把历史的精髓写得淋漓尽致吧。这么大部头啃完都意犹未尽。Mary Beard本人的潇洒也很加分233333
评分沒有看完。讀到後來,不是很喜歡她「史話」式的筆觸。
