Omschrijving

For centuries, Rome stood as the beating heart of the Western world—its armies unmatched, its cities dazzling, its culture influential across continents. Yet even the mightiest empire can unravel. This book takes readers deep into the story of how a civilization that once seemed unstoppable collapsed under the weight of its own struggles.

With a clear and engaging voice, it traces Rome's journey from its beginnings as a small republic to its height as a world power and, finally, to the crises that tore it apart. Political corruption, widening gaps between rich and poor, crushing taxes, and a reliance on slave labor all weakened the empire from within. At the same time, powerful enemies pressed against its borders, and without unity, even Rome's legendary legions could no longer hold the empire together.

But this isn't only a story of ruins. It also explores what endured—laws, languages, architecture, and ideas that still shape the world today. Readers will discover how collapse can bring transformation, and why the lessons of Rome's decline remain as relevant now as they were more than 1,500 years ago.

Both cautionary and inspiring, this is a gripping look at power, fragility, and the enduring strength of ideas that outlive empires.
