More about the book

Challenging the conventional admiration of the Roman Empire, the author presents a provocative argument that it functioned as a brutal system of exploitation and violence. Faulkner reveals how war and oppression enriched the ruling classes while devastating millions, including slaves and poor peasants. This critical examination highlights the inherent tensions within the empire that foreshadowed its eventual collapse. The narrative combines engaging storytelling with scholarly insight, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in a darker view of Rome's historical legacy.
