Book synopsis

One major epochal phenomenon from the past of the Near East and the Mediterranean World was the 'grandeur that was Rome'. In this era of modern studies and technological know-how, it is only essential that the debt we owe to the ancients be re-examined and their achievements in humanities recognized. On what may be called the political side of her activities, Rome gave us the practical art of government and the law, the statecraft of consolidation and expansion, as well as the unification of numerous cultures of people and languages with imperial order, approximate to worldwide peace - the Pax Romana. Rome, indeed, built the bridge over which many of the finest thoughts, ideas, and models of antiquity found their way into the post-Roman worlds of Islam, the Medieval, and the Renaissance. Written purely with a fresh interpretation from an African perspective, this book re-tells the story of the rise and fall of Republican Rome to the point of Caesar's crossing of the River Rubicon. Its intent is that if a bit of antiquity is understood, the modern man may learn and retain something valuable, thought-provoking, and practical in life.
