The Basic Books Group releases new works on the Roman Empire

The Basic Books Group is releasing new historical works focused on the Roman Empire. David Potter provides a comprehensive illustrated guide covering the empire’s rise, its period of global dominion, and its eventual decline. The work includes political and battle maps, as well as photographs of ancient weapons, monuments, and fortifications.

Additionally, historian Adrian Goldsworthy examines the seven-century rivalry between the Roman Empire and the Parthian and Persian empires. The text explores how these two superpowers evolved through conflict and trade, maintaining a mutual respect that prevented total destruction despite their constant clashes.
