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'.

Thought-provoking perspective on the history of Rome the city and her people until the Edict of Caracalla.
评分(不读完大部头不上社交网络,然后今天读完了,社交网络呢……历史洪流,你回头看蝼蚁一般,恍惚不已。)那些讲平民生活的很亲切,那部纪录片里有一小部分涉及,因此熟悉。主体部分,我喜欢的在于开放的态度,模糊和猜测的部分都有指明。后期罗马帝国同基督教犹太民族的关系经点拨稍稍了解了一下。有什么历史的必然吗?我历史水平太菜,因此做了很多初级的笔记和图表,就不露丑了。
评分为啥不再写两百年~
评分2019/02 library 比较浅显。
评分花了挺长时间认真读完,这本对我这种不熟悉罗马史的读者来说接近完美。不是罗马百科全书,但让我对罗马史燃起了更强兴趣,马上开始读下一本。也打算买一本放书架收藏。
译本质量很高(译者用心),也没发现别字(编校尽责),引起极度舒适。 有一处小问题,在【第6章,页233,图39】的插图说明中有句译文为:“从图中可以看到,上方宫殿的半圆形状反映了下方命运女神庙的形状。” 其中不妥之处有二: 1、句中【上方】和【下方】的表述,容易让读...

评分当下出版市场上,由专业历史学者撰写的通俗历史读物,一直颇受读者欢迎。然而一个令人深思的现象是,这类书籍的作者大部分是外国人,从前几年畅销的日本讲谈社中国历史丛书,到近些年国内甲骨文工作室策划的一系列世界史书目,都能说明这个问题。无论是否愿意承认,中国学者多...
评分这是我第一本读完的罗马史作品 这本书的作者是玛丽·比尔德,英国剑桥大学教授,在BBC多部纪录片中出镜,在纪录片《相约古罗马》,能够看到她飘逸的金色长发,行走在罗马的古籍,行走在罗马的大道上,对事迹和内容娓娓道来,就好像她刚刚从古罗马回来一般。而《SPQR》就是一部...
