Unique and useful...,

This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Roman Empire: A complete history of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, chronicling the story of the most ... civilization the world has ever known (Hardcover)
The best thing in this book is the richness of illustrations. So one can easily visualize what is told.
The categorization is also unique and very useful. Due this categoorization several information is repeated, but it is not boring. I found it very useful, as it helps you to repeat certain information so that it is easily stored in your mind. I was so much impressed by this book, I looked for a similar book on Greek history but unfortunately it does not exist. I recommend this book to everyone who wants to read on roman history but does not like the classical chronological story-telling style. It is really fun!..

This is a wonderful overview of the fabulous Romans and their history and life style. Photos are excellent and it reads like a novel. The short vignettes allow one to read and return over and over. I'm glad I own this book.
