3.0 out of 5 stars
A study of Rome vs China,
By BernardZ (Melbourne, vic Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rome and China: Comparative Perspectives on Ancient World Empires (Oxford Studies in Early Empires) (Paperback)
Apparently, two thousand years ago half the people lived either under Roman or Chinese rule. What this book does is compare the two societies to see whether they have much in common. There does appear to be some items in common.I was not so convinced that for the subject that many of the topics picked were that relevant, e.g. women, gifts and charity. One big difference in the areas which has troubled people is why after the Chinese Empire fell, it managed to reunite yet the Roman Empire never did despite many attempts. No-one really has an answer to this, although there is some discussion about it in this book. |
