Original book introduction: Emerging as a market town from a cluster of hill villages in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., Rome grew to become the ancient world’s preeminent power. Everitt fashions the story of Rome’s rise to glory into an erudite page-turner filled with lasting lessons for our time. He chronicles the clash between patricians and plebeians that defined the politics of the Republic. He shows how Rome’s shrewd strategy of offering citizenship to her defeated subjects was instrumental in expanding the reach of her burgeoning empire. And he outlines the corrosion of constitutional norms that accompanied Rome’s imperial expansion, as old habits of political compromise gave way, leading to violence and civil war. In the end, unimaginable wealth and power corrupted the traditional virtues of the Republic, and Rome was left triumphant everywhere except within its own borders.

      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      The siege of Troy was a ten-year war between the Greeks and the Trojans. The Trojans, led by Priam, king of Troy, were defended by the spirited Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior.

      #2

      Achilles was a Greek hero who fought in the Trojan War. He was open-hearted and fearless, but also extremely revengeful and stubborn.

      #3

      The Greeks had successfully invaded and conquered Troy, a city in Asia Minor, and took everything of value. The Trojans who lived in the city were left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Aeneas was a Trojan prince who escaped the destruction of his city with his father and young son. They spent the next decade wandering the Mediterranean Sea, trying to find a new home.

      #4

      In the Aeneid, the author, Virgil, described the fall of Troy and the journey of Aeneas, a Trojan prince, to Italy. He abandoned his wife Dido because he was commanded to do so by Jupiter.

      #5

      The story of Aeneas is a tragic one, as it shows the lengths people will go to for love.

      #6

      Hercules was a Greek hero who, among other things, killed the monster Cacus. Hercules was known for protecting Greek colonists and traders who traveled across the Mediterranean.

      #7

      The story of Romulus and Remus is an example of how the taming of wolves helped humans. It started when the two brothers were captured fighting with some other young men and were sent to be executed by their uncle, Numitor, who was king of Alba Longa.

      #8

      Eventually, the truth came out and the boys were accepted by their uncle, King Numitor of Alba Longa.

      #9

      The story of Romulus and Remus is an example of how geography and fate can play a large role in the development of a civilization. The two brothers, born to two different families, founded the two largest cities in Rome, which would eventually unite under a single emperor.

      #10

      The legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, were twin brothers. They both grew up in the same house but had different fathers. Romulus killed his brother, Remus, in a fight for power.

      #11

      After the death of his brother, Romulus built Rome up into a city that could defend itself. He made it a sanctuary for all the people who had been exiled or criminalized. He
